Proverbs - Our Lives ARE Lamps



Proverbs 13:8-9

 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.


All of our lives are like lamps or lights.  We have the potential to illuminate the lives and paths around us.  Our children, husbands/wives, friends and co-workers, have us as examples and the way we live our lives will determine how much our lives will make their ways easier to see.  As people who choose to live righteously, our lights will rejoice.  The presence of righteousness will be shining for all those who are around us.  When we are faced with doing the right thing in the eyes of the Lord and then we choose it, our light is refreshed and shines in a way that is steady and to be relied upon.  If we desire to influence those around us, be sensitive to what may seem like insignificant moral choices.  The Spirit of Truth will speak to you and His Word will be your lamp.  Choose righteousness and expect your lives to help others see.
