This morning as I was driving into the office, I noticed the street light was working. I also noticed that there was a power line attached to the light. Without some source of power, the light would not be able to do the task set before it. We like the streetlight have a task. We are to be the light into the world. Our source of power comes not from our strength and experience, but from the Holy Spirit. When we become a believer, we are filled with all the power we will ever need to be a bright and shining light for our Lord and Savior.
Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV)
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
