Where Do You Hide Your Light? Matthew 5:15 {Scripture Memory Challenge}

Don’t waste your light. Someone needs it to see by. Memorize Matthew 5:15 with us this week.

Memorize This Week

15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
Matthew 5:15 (ESV)

What’s Your Light?

How do you shine in the world?

Sometimes we fail to recognize that we are light. We think our circumstances are too dark or our personalities too dim.

And even if we do have a little light, we think it’s not enough to go around. We don’t want to draw attention to ourselves with it, or use it up and have it go out.

But light doesn’t work that way.

Our eyes are drawn to the dimmest of lights in a dark room. And instead of going out, one bit of flame can catch other things on fire, too, spreading the light all around.

Jesus is our light. He can’t be used up or go out.

With Jesus in us, we shine, too, whether we realize it or not. Each of us has been gifted with light inside our souls.

How Do You Hide?

As we memorize Matthew 5:15 this week, look for ways you may be hiding your light.

What hinders you from letting it shine? As the song says, do you “let Satan blow it out?” As the verse says, do you “hide it under a bushel?”

Do you hide your light behind timidity? Underneath fear? Behind lack of confidence?

Let it shine instead. The more you use it, the brighter it becomes.

Let others see God’s beauty through the illumination you provide. Help them find their way back to the Father because your light for Him is turned on and turned up.

Don’t waste your light.
