“NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK OR BEAMING LIGHT?”

I looked through a magazine and when I read the big letters of the ad “ARE YOU GOING TO BE A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK OR A BEAMING LIGHT?” I was at once awake. My answer is of course, “Lord, I want to be a beaming light for you and not a needle in a haystack!”

Looking closer, I saw, that the ad had a picture of the ResQFix 406 GPS personal Locater Beacon. It said, “Your Life-Link home to friends and family……..” “Be prepared for the unexpected with a ResQFix 406 GPS personal Locater Beacon.”

I looked up some Bible verses and here they are:

Matthew 5:14

— You are the light of the world

A city on a hill cannot be hidden

— Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl

Please read Matthew 5:14-16

Ephesians 5:8,9

— Live as children of light

Philippians 2:15

— shine like stars

First Thessalonians 5:5

— You are all sons of the light

Zephaniah 3:16,17

ON THAT DAY THEY WILL SAY TO JERUSALEM,

1. ” Do not fear, O Zion;

2. do not let your hands hang limp.

3. The Lord your God is with you,

4. he is mighty to save.

5. He will take great delight in you,

6. he will quiet you with his love,

7. he will rejoice over you with singing.”
