Isaiah 58:10-11

When God tells us to help the less fortunate, it’s not just for their benefit but for ours. Because there’s a profound connection between helping those in need and experiencing God’s abundant blessings. Blessings including a compassionate heart and the joy that comes from being a source of hope and support to others. Add to that personal growth, fulfillment, and spiritual enrichment. That’s why we are called to be instruments of God’s abundance. The world is facing unprecedented challenges. And in these trying times, Christians have the opportunity to step up. To be beacons of God’s love and grace by extending a helping hand. And to embody the message of compassion, kindness, and selflessness that Jesus exemplified throughout His life. By helping the less fortunate, we as Christians have an opportunity to be ambassadors for Jesus. Living testimonies of the very Gospel we follow. And true examples of God’s love to a world in desperate need.

Numbers 8:4

God gave Moses detailed instructions how the tabernacle lampstand was to be made, and where it was to be placed. And as it was the only light source, it was the job of Aaron and his sons to make sure the lamp burned continuously, both day and night. The lampstand is a symbol of Christ Jesus, the true Light of the world. (John 8:12) The One who leads all out of darkness, and into His saving light. (1 Peter 2:9) And as Christian’s, we in turn are the lamps supporting Him. For the Lord calls us to be examples of His shining light in a spiritually darkened world. (Matt. 5:14-16) Dr. Charles Stanley says our mission as Christians is to be, “lights burning with the fire of heaven.” So today and everyday let’s lead lives burning day and night with the light of Jesus. And out of love for our Savior, joyfully spread the saving message of the Gospel, so that all will praise our Father in heaven!

Philippians 2:15

In a poem Shakespeare once wrote, “All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” On the world’s stage, the spotlight on Christians is particularly harsh and bright, checking to see if our actions line up with our preaching. And God tells that as His sons and daughters, the lights we project should be above reproach. That means living lives that are completely opposite from the fallen world in which we live. We are to be in the world, not of it, becoming distinctly different examples of Christ. Just as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:16. “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). And after all isn’t that the goal as a Christian? To live for the Lord in all that we do so that when He returns, we will have “reason to glory!” (Phil 5:16)
