I believe a majority of people have song this nursery rhyme. The words are so powerful and is very much needed for such a time as this.
This little light of mine I’m going to let it shine
Oh, this little light of mine I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine
Oh, everywhere I go I’m going to let it shine
Everywhere, I go I’m going to let it shine
let it shine, all the time, let it shine
God has placed a light within the believer.
The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. Proverbs 20:27
This candle within the believer has a twofold purpose. It is a channel by which the Spirit of God uses to communicate and reveals things to the believer; also, it is a light within that shines outwardly into darkness to draw others to “The Light “Jesus. The candle of Lord within the believer is a light an illuminator!
We are told in the Word, to let our light SO shine so that the world will see and the Father will be glorified Matthew 5:16 In the midst of all the darkness and chaos in the world today, the world needs to see Light. If Jesus (the light) of the world be lifted up He will draw all men to himself. John 12:32
Today I read an interesting article detailing the most sinful states in America. The way they (university professors) rated the states were by using a vice index based on the seven deadly sins like greed, lust, vanity, anger, hatred, laziness and excessive vices, (wallethub.com) The world can analyze what’s wrong in the world but offer no solution. The solution to every demise of this world is Jesus, he is the answer for the world today. Jesus came into the world to take away the sin of mankind and redeem them back to the Father. I believe Jesus is still sufficient today to save a sin-sick world. He is the light of the world, a beacon of hope in the midst of hopelessness. He is that glorious gospel that the god of this world wants to blind the mind of people, so that they cannot see the “Light” 2 Cor. 4:4
We the people of God who carry the light everywhere we go, have the responsibility to lift Him up in this dark world by allowing the light within us to Shine and show forth! We must give voice to the gospel message of salvation everywhere we go. We were commissioned by Jesus to Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark 16:15
When we do so, we’re glorifying our Father and showing the way for some lost soul to come into the knowledge and the truth of who Jesus Christ is. He is the only way, the truth and the life. John 14:6
Scriptural reference:
Again, Jesus spoke saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 ESV
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 5:16
Blessings to all,
