[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 27]] ## Title: The Light Of God’s Word is Always Shining ## Scripture: (Exodus 27:20-21) “You are to command the Israelites that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, so that the lamps will burn regularly. In the tent of meeting outside the curtain that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons are to arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for generations to come. (NET) ## Observation: God told the priests to always keep the candles burning in the holy place. Many people have equated various pieces of furniture in the Tabernacle to certain aspects of the Lord and the various ways we fellowship with Him. One of the ways to see the golden lampstand that was kept burning in the holy place is the Spirit of God and the Word of God. The symbolism is powerful. We must always allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Word of God within our hearts. God’s Word talks about meditating on His Word and even uses the illustration of saying we should bind the Words of God to our hands and forehead. The point is to always have it in our heads and in our minds. When we constantly focus on the Lord, we remember His goodness. We remember He is for us and moving in ways we do not always see. He restores our mind and keeps away the fears of life. We must always keep God’s Word close and shining in our lives. ## Application: When do you spend time reflecting on God’s Word during your day? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for speaking to us every day through Your Word.
