Being the Light


Don’t let Satan run you out of where or what you are suppose to be!

Now, for some reason I am reminded of the song, “This Little Light of Mine”. Do you remember the words?

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.(repeat 3X)
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Don't let Satan blow it out.
I'm gonna let it shine. (repeat 3X)

Although, when I was a kid. We didn’t say ‘blow it out’. We actually made the sound and all the hand motions that go along with it. Ahh..fun times. Hide it under a bushel - NO!

My point is. We are the light. If God has placed you somewhere - be the light and don’t wither away because Satan tries to put pressure on you to leave or back down.

Matthew 5:14-16, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”
I do like the below Message translation for that same verse. It makes me smile.
