Let's be Lamplighters

Psalm 119:105 says

"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path" NKJV

Being a man of God, we should share the Word of the Lord with somebody on a daily basis.  We should long for and look for opportunities to do so.  Whether it is on social media, a text message to a friend you have not spoken to in a while, or a phone call to a church member that has missed a few Sundays.  Anything and everything helps.  

If you have not done so, your children are a great place to start.  Especially when you learn or re-learn that we, as fathers, are responsible for their spiritual welfare.  Speaking to them and providing spiritual milk is not only what they need, but it helps you gain more confidence in sharing the gospel.  As we begin to answer their simple questions, we are more comfortable and confident talking with older people.  

Even the signature line in your personal email, or the message to your voicemail can have a huge impact on someone.  On my wife's' voicemail she prays that if they do not know Jesus that they will come to know Him. She has had multiple people leaving her a message say that they appreciated what she said.  

Lighting lamps is not only a good thing to do, it is also a commandment.  Matthew 28:19 says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." We cannot make disciples if we do not open our mouths and speak the words that He gives us to speak.  The more that we do, the easier it get.  And God will give the increase.  

Strike a match and light a lamp.
