Lights! ... Security! ... Stability!

Two things stood out to me in today's reading...

2 Chronicles 3:15-17
"He placed two freestanding pillars... in front of The Temple... the right pillar he named Jakin (Security) and the left pillar he named Boaz (Stability)."

In our world today of families and jobs and relationships that often lack Security and Stability, it's so exciting and refreshing to see those pillars within THE Church.




John 10:40-42
"He [Jesus] went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and stayed there. A lot of people followed Him over. They were saying, 'John did no miracles, but everything he said about this Man has come true.' Many believed in Him then and there."

Jesus did many miracles. And many people believed. But some did not.

John did no miracles. But he opened his mouth and told people about Jesus. And people believed.

It really hit me that all John did, was do what he was called by God to do. "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe." (John 1:6,7)

Powerful.

Lord, help me to be a John. Minus the locust meals, please. And the camel hair wardrobe. But use me as a witness of Your light, Your Security, Stability.
