Being a mirror to the world
At church this past week we continued to read the story (BIBLE) going into the New Testament.
Dr. Mark Moore spoke about Jesus’s ministry beginning. Dr. Moore also challenged us to be the mirror to the world and not to simply just look in the mirror.
Have you ever looked into the mirror and said wow I really look good today? Or wow how blessed I am to have______________? If so what have you done to further promote the great things he is doing?
In John 3:30 the Bible states “He must increase and I must Decrease” How true this is if we are to be mirrors in the world and fully give God the credit for what is being done, not giving ourselves the credit for what we are or what we have.
As we ring in a new year and say good bye to the old, some of us will make resolutions such as weight loss, working out, financial or whatever it is you choose, remember you can’t do it on your own. You can only accomplish your goals if Christ is at the top.
So rather than continue life with darkness or secretes, how many of us will actually make it a resolution to be the mirror in the world and allow God’s bring light to shine from us?
Last week during the Christmas Eve service, we sang the song This Little Light of Mine. As the words of the song go like this:
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 let it shine let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, No I’m going to let it shine.
In order to let our light shine we can’t allow the bushel (darkness) of whatever it might be from allowing our beacons to shine for Him. So as you make resolutions this year, what is your going to do to keep the darkness off your light to those around you?
Happy New Year
