A Candle in a Cave

July 6

It is a restaurant in a cave. Although the room is well lit a lone candle burns on a ledge. Our waiter says,"that's our test candle as long as it flickers we’re fine.” Nervous laughter. Half way through dinner a woman yells, "The Candle is out!" Heads turn. "It is OK," her husband says relighting the candle, "the waiter was only joking." My life is like that test candle. I can light up with His truth or be nothing and that is no joke.

"You are the light of the world." Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14,16)
