"No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. Then pay attention to how you listen; and from those who do not have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away." ~Luke 8:16-18
At youth last night we talked about the spiritual discipline of meditation while focusing on the above passage. I read the scripture and the youth wrote down their first impressions of the passage. Then they reread the scripture slowly and thoughtfully a few times to see what they picked up on the second time around.
I will do a devotional for the next twelve days from now through Easter. (there will actually be two today since this was last nights) Just to reflect on and meditate on a certain passage. As you read this ask yourself these questions.
1. What was the first thing that came to mind as you read the passage?
2. What do you think Jesus was trying to get at with the reference to the lamp?
Grace & Peace
Kevin
