Still Shining

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

I have a confession to make: I hate buying light bulbs!

It’s just so complicated. There are so many options, and they are so expensive. And the manufacturers lie. Bulbs that are supposed to last years and years dim and go out long before their time.

I miss the old days where the greatest decision was wattage - 25, 50, or 75?

They just don’t make lightbulbs like they used to. How do I know? Because there is a bulb that has been burning since 1901! It doesn’t burn as brightly, but it still burns.

This reminded me of Matthew 5:16, where we as believers are told to burn brightly for Jesus. Our good works should cause others to glorify God.

How bright are you shining today?

Dear Father in Heaven, Thank You for life and light. Help me this day to shine brightly for You that others may bring honor to You. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
