We are the tent. (2 Cor. 5:4)
Jesus is the light. (John 1:4)
The Holy Spirit is the oil. (Zech. 4:1-6)
Fueled by the Holy Spirit, we are called to let Jesus' light shine through us into the darkness. (Matt. 5:14-16)
God provides a Light that shines in the darkness, and He creates a tent (us) to shine through.
For Jesus' light to pierce the darkness, shining brighter and brighter, we need to become more and more transparent.
For His light to shine continuously, we need to constantly be refueled by the Holy Spirit through prayer, studying and memorizing Scripture, and abiding in Him.
For His light to shatter the inky blackness of this world, we need to fearlessly move our tents into places of darkness where no other light shines.
There is a world of people who long for the safety and presence of Jesus–but they need a beacon to guide them. May we humble tents, who carry the Light, glow brightly everywhere as we travel through this world! excerpt from Amy Carroll more
God's first act of creation was to speak light into his formless, empty earth and into the darkness which lay on the face of the deep...Genesis 1:3
The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine. —Isaiah 9:2 (NLT)
Look directly to Jesus for your insight and direction. Jesus is the light. Look to him and you’ll see through the world of darkness soon enough
Shine Down On Me
Gaither Vocal Band
Lord, I want to be your witness
You can take what's wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me
Let Your love shine through me in the night
Lord, I've seen a world that's dying
Wounded by the master of deceit
Groping in the darkness
Haunted by the years of past defeat
Lord, I want to be your witness
You can take what's wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me
Let Your love shine through me in the night
