THE FULL MOON

When a full moon shines brightly in
a dark sky it lights up the dark corners
of the garden. Yet the moon is only a
reflection of our sun, only a fraction of
its' brilliance.
     We live in a world darkened by sin
and the Lord needs His people to be
bright moons reflecting His Sons
brilliance and glory into the dark
corners of peoples lives, and just as the
earth sometimes blots out the suns rays,
causing the moon to darken in an
eclipse, so it is sometimes with us when
we let worldly things interfere with our
witness for Him.
     We must be a full moon for the Lord
- not a crescent moon only reflecting
part of the light. And as the moon needs
to be in the right position to reflect
the suns glory - so must we be in the
right position with God to reflect the
full glory of Jesus.
     If we merely listen to the Word
every Sunday, but do nothing about it
Monday-Saturday, then we are a moon in
eclipse - useless in lighting up dark
corners. If, however, we look to the
lord everyday and seek opportunities to
tell others about Him - then like the
full moon our light will shine out for
Him.
