A Lightbulb

 

I pray that I accurately convey this message correctly as it was given to me by God. So what is a light bulb? A light bulb is an object that is meant to hold a source of light, overcoming darkness in a place in which it is to be used at. A light bulb is a case that contains light that illuminates from the inside, but the bulb itself is not the light. Yet for a bulb to even work it has to be plugged into a source, for light cannot shine without the source which gives it power.
We as humans are meant to be God’s light bulb. He wants to live in our hearts and minds and he wants our bodies to be his temple, or case in which the light of His love, power, and might can shine brightly within us. He is the source, in which if we stay plugged in to his ways then His power will shine so brightly through us that all darkness will be overcome. Yet he is still not the light, He is much greater. He is the source of power for the light.
Psalm 104:2 says , “Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:” and in the story of the burning bush God’s presence rested on the bush so powerfully that the bush caught fire…..yet did not burn. The fire was not God’s presence, His presence was wrapped in the fire. We need to be plugged into the source, where the power originates to understand God as “The Light of the World”. See, God is exactly the opposite of us in this way. We as light bulbs are inferior, but God, as the source of the power in which darkness is overcome is superior.

Power does not need a light bulb plugged into it to give off light, but a light bulb cannot shine without power. We, being light bulbs, are a case for the light that shine from within, but God, The King of everything that has ever been and will ever be, is so mighty in power in all of his ways that He just radiates with light! See, power gives off light, light cannot give off power. When we truly understand this, than we can truly sing “He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide” and “how Great is our God!”
