Just as the candle of
incense was to burn continually so was the lamp to light the inner court of the
Tabernacle.
Today Jesus is our Light
and He desires to shine through us (Matthew 5:14).
Perhaps you don't know
what fifth columnists are. It goes all
the way back to when the Spanish army would invade a nation and they would
march the soldiers in four columns. The
soldiers would march in four columns and do a frontal assault on whatever
nation or city they were going to attack.
The nation being attacked felt pretty secure, because they could see the
four columns coming. But what they
didn’t know about were the fifth columnists.
The fifth columnists had
moved into the city a year beforehand as covert operatives. They had become doctors and lawyers,
politicians and business people, and they infiltrated the land that would be
attacked a year later. In other words,
they were saboteurs. What they did was
to set things up for the army invasions.
When the four columns marched, the fifth columnists would have already
caused havoc on the inside. The four
columns could do what they needed to do, because there were subversives
internally.
God expects every
Christian who is functioning in a secular, non-Christian society, business, or
school to be a fifth columnist. He
expects you to be part of His army that works behind enemy lines. He wants you to represent the interests of
heaven in the locality of earth where He has placed you. Fifth columnists don’t become part of the
culture, they just function at the level they need to in order to bring about
the bigger plan of the nation that they are a part of.
Today, we are to make a
difference by letting Christ shine through us.
What to do: ✞Let your light shine where you are.
