Solomon describes our Christina path as increasing in intensity as we proceed. And Paul describes our responsibility even better in Philippians 2:15 - That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Both clearly define our responsibility to be His light in the world.
But how do we increase our intensity that Solomon defines in the second half of the verse above? Many of us have dimmers on lights in our house. The old-style dimmers used a rudimentary variable resistor that increased the resistance and reduced the voltage to the light bulb causing it to dim. As the resistance was reduced, the voltage to the light increases and the bulb burns brighter. So it is with our Christian walk with God. As we reduce the resistance to His will, we come closer to God. The closer to God, the brighter we shine!
Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Let us be mindful that all of our actions are a direct reflection upon our Lord and Savior. Join me in striving to draw closer to God so that the world will be blinded by the light of His love!
