Let it shine

Is the purpose for a candle to be lit and then be placed in the closet or hidden under the bed? No, we raise it high and put it on a candlestick so the light may shine.

God’s word tells us to let our light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Oh, magnify the Lord with Me, and let us exalt His name together ~ Psalm 34:3

The psalmist, David, entreated the people to exalt the Lord together. In a trial while dealing with King Achish, David underwent a struggle for his life. Though he made a weak defense through his own efforts of feigning insanity to escape from him, David was certain the Lord was the cause for his deliverance.

Singing to the Lord, praying, praising, sacrificial acts of kindness, gratitude, teaching, preaching, sharing, and witnessing… all in the name of Christ are some of the ways to magnify the Lord. Lifting up his name is the least we can do for the loving savior whose light lives within us.
