Visible to all

All the ends of the earth have seen God’s power to save. ~ Psalm 98:3b (NCV)

Then Jesus said to them, “Do you hide a lamp under a bowl or under a bed? No! You put the lamp on a lampstand. ~ Mark 4:21 (NCV)

It's pretty clear, Lord, that your message isn't hidden and secretly kept for an elite group. You want the whole world to see what you are up to. And in an opaque age of hidden conspiracy theories and secret schemes, your global transparency is refreshing. It doesn't make sense, then, that I keep so many secrets. Sometimes it makes me feel extra special knowing that I have your truth in my back pocket and so much of the world is so clueless. Help me to get with your program. I want to make sure that your light shines to the world. And, please, start with me. I'm going take my Jesus light out of my pocket and I'm going to put it on a lampstand to make light for all. Amen.
