"The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was
lying in the sanctuary of the Lord where the ark of God was, when the Lord
called, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ He answered, ‘Here I am.’..." (1 Sam.3:3-4)
The Candle light that was given to your God-Father/Mother
during your baptism which represents purity of soul, mind and body;
how far?
Is yours/mine still burning for pure desires or lust?
If the light is no longer burning then it is a clear
indicator why we easily forget that our body is the sanctuary of the Holy
Spirit thus we rarely hear the voice of God when He calls to direct our paths
to His Pre-arranged plan for us in Christ Jesus as a way of our lives before we
were created.
Let us purify our thoughts and desires by asking for God's
mercy, forgiveness and pardon as well as a deep sincere relationship with Him
according to the righteousness he has granted via faith in Jesus Christ and not
according the righteousness of our own standard or any other human standard.
He has created us not for sighing and sorrowing but to
continue manifesting His love for us despite the noise of the enemy {devil} and
we ought to love and worship Him because He first loved us.
May the Holy Spirit rekindle in us that fire of Holy purity
so that we may hear Him speak clearly to us even in the noisiest environment we
find ourselves and follow Him without deviating to the right or to the left so
that at the end of each day we spend here on earth we will find fulfillment,
satisfaction, joy and peace in serving Him who is the Only Righteous God
through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
