SHINE YOUR LIGHT - D. L. Moody told the story of a man who was crossing the Atlantic by ship. He was terribly sick and confined to his cabin. One night he heard the cry “Man overboard!” He struggled to his feet and hung the light so it shined out into the darkness. The next day he learned that the person who was rescued said, “I was going down in the dark night for the last time, when someone put a light in a porthole. As it shone on my hand, a sailor in a lifeboat grabbed it and pulled me in." All of us have weaknesses -- and times of weakness. We need to muster up the strength to put our lights in our portholes for the sake of the dying and the lost among us. It’s so tempting to sulk in our weaknesses -- but God expects more of us. Many people around us sinking in despair. But God has chosen us to reach out and light up their lives! Be bold, speak up! Let’s get beyond our weaknesses and light up the darkness around us!

“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand; and it gives light to all that are in the house.” Matthew 5:15

As we light the candles on the fifth night of Chanukah, we remember that God has called us to be lights.

D. L. Moody told the story of a man who was crossing the Atlantic by ship. He was terribly sick and confined to his cabin.

One night he heard the cry “Man overboard!”

He felt that there was nothing he could do to help, but at second thought, he said to himself, “I guess I can at least put my lantern in the porthole.”

He struggled to his feet and hung the light so it shined out into the darkness.

The next day he learned that the person who was rescued said, “I was going down in the dark night for the last time, when someone put a light in a porthole. As it shone on my hand, a sailor in a lifeboat grabbed it and pulled me in."

All of us have weaknesses -- and times of weakness.

The fact of the matter is, though, that weak or not, we need to muster up the strength to put our lights in our portholes for the sake of the dying and the lost among us.

It’s so tempting to sulk in our weaknesses, and stay in our beds -- but God expects more of us.

He has given us the strength to do all things -- even move mountains!

There are so many people around us sinking in despair. But God has chosen us to reach out and light up their lives!

Let's do something extraordinary for the Lord today.

Be bold, speak up! Let’s get beyond our weaknesses and light up the darkness around us!
