Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 12

And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Mark 4:21

The bed
Last week, the "bushel" reminded us that the light of our witness for the Lord can be completely covered over by the occupations of daily life. But our natural indolence and a love of comfort can lead to the same effect. Perhaps the Lord has laid a certain service on our heart that we should fulfil but we never get round to undertaking it.
Maybe there have been "great resolves of heart", as there were among the divisions of Reuben , but nothing happens. This is not surprising if one cannot exert oneself because of our desire for peace and an easy life take precedence over the strenuous demands of the battlefield.
What excuses we find! Our day's work can be so strenuous. The weather so cold and damp, or the air in our meeting-places so oppressive, people can be so ungrateful and even repulsive, while dealing with them is so tiring! Suddenly the lamp has disappeared under the bed. Only a dim shimmer of light betrays its existence - but it is of no use to anyone.
Hasn't our lamp, yours and mine, occasionally stood under a bushel or the bed, instead of shining brightly for our Lord to the benefit of our neighbourhood? Hasn't its light been lacking in our family circle, in our fellowship and in our contact with the world? God's Word calls on us to "Walk as children of light. Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light" (Ephesians 5:8-14).

Are You Feeling Insecure? (3)

The Lordsaid to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth." '
Jeremiah 1:9 NIV

The people God calls usually start out feeling ill-equipped and insecure. Indeed, if you jumped and said, No problem, Lord, I can handle that,' He wouldn't call you at all. You say, but I've made so many...More
