Do you keep God in a box? Luke 8

in Luke in 26 Days

If you are reading through Luke with me this month, today we are on Luke 8.

Here is what I heard using the SOAP devotional format:

Scripture: Luke 8: 16

“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.

Observation:

When you’ve got something good, don’t you want to share it or at least share about it?

Application:

Do you keep God in a box, or your experiences with Him compartmentalized fro other parts of your life?

Share your experience. Share His love. Warm others with His glow.

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for inspiring me to share your light here on MomsToolbox, as well as on Facebook, Twitter and other media. Please, Lord, don’t let me stop there. If I am not letting you shine in places that I should, show me and help me to help others to see your love. Also, Lord, please guide others in letting your light shine. You are good, You are awesome. Don’t let us keep you to ourselves!

S: v14 – choked by pleasures O: hearing is not enough. cares/riches/pleasures can choke growth, and fruit does not mature. A: Am I maturing? Or are the cares and pleasures of my life preventing me from growing? P: Lord, you know the troubles I have. You know the riches and pleasures as well! Let me not be consumed by my circumstances, to the point that I stop growing in you.

btw, I have been reading every day, even when I have not had time to post!

I chose this same verse. I also had a couple others that really struck me. I am hearing a clear emssage from God recently to share him with people. I feel Ive come to a place now where I can do that and Im nervous but so ready!!
