Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning;
Luke 12:35 NKJV
I’m sure in those days it was a big problem if you let the lamp go out. Hopefully there was another fire burning somewhere in the house. They didn’t just flip a switch. They didn’t just get the lighter. They certainly had a different idea about keeping the lamp burning than we do.
Jesus is telling me to be attentive, to be alert and to be proactive. If it looks like the fire is going out, spring into action! Do something about it.
Be ready for action and adventure. Don’t get lazy, complacent or passive in your relationship with Jesus. Don’t let it go cold.
Jesus, Stir the fire in me! Amen.
