Hi, I'm John McMath, and this is the Morning Meditation!

How many of you turn on a lamp in your house only to throw a blanket over it? You say that is silly? You are exactly right.

However, if you are not allowing Jesus to shine in your life that is exactly what you are doing. Jesus said that no one lights a lamp to put it under a basket, but they put it on a lamp stand. A lamp stand holds the candle up in the air so that its light can permeate every area of the room.

Each of us needs to be courageous enough to put our Christian light on a lamp stand. I am not talking about showy religion. Jesus condemned that. I am talking about boldly and courageously living for Jesus all the time in every place.

Jesus died for you. Why should you be ashamed to burn for Him?

Let your light shine. Jesus will be seen. God will be glorified. And, you will be blessed.

This has been the Morning Meditation. Join us next time for more meditation.
