Are you being a lamp?

June 10/10

Lord, what do You have for me today? I am excited to find the nugget of truth You have for me. Teach me, Lord.

Thank You, Father. You knew I needed confirmation from You about this, my latest endeavor, writing a devotional book.

It says in Matthew 5 that we are to be lights in a dark world. If each one of us do our part in being lights in our little corner of the world, wouldn't the world be a brighter place?

How can you be a light today? How can I? It might be something as simple as a smile - smile at someone who you pass on the street, talk to at the bank or serves you at a fast food restaurant. It might be the only smile they receive today. Whatever we can do to light up our little part of the world, shouldn't we do it? Not only today, but every day.

Light your lamp today. Ask God to show you how you are supposed to shine it. He will show you. Will you repond? Will you make a difference in your corner of the world today and shine in the midst of a dark world?

So God, thank You for confirming that You want me to write a devotional book. This is one way You want me to be a light. Help me to only put in this book what You want me to. Keep me humble, Lord. Help me to be a light for You.

How are you going to shine your light today?
