The Lamp....

The Lamp...

Form the beginning to the end, lamp, lights are spoken of...pictures for our finite mind to slightly comprehend the magnificent light that we have in Jesus...

It shone in the tabernacle...reflecting off the walls of gold, brilliance all around...just as Jesus shines...molded of pure gold...burning in the darkness...turning it to light..

I was caught by the verse in Proverbs 20, about the human spirit being the lamp of the Lord...shedding light on our inmost being...then I had to follow the "rabbit trail" of lamps... Having Jesus, He is the Word which lights the way...we need no other...he turns darkness into light...as no other can...

Thank YOU ....for your light ...showing the way...
