Don’t Let My Love Grow Cold

 Scripture:

“In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭27‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

As God was giving Moses exactly what He wanted the Tabernacle to look like and exact dimensions and instructions concerning how each item within the Tabernacle was to be contracted, He told Moses about lamps outside the Most Holy Place that were never to go out. God wanted a lampstand and He instructed His servants to never let the fire go out. 

Application:

We don’t have physical Tabernacles at this point in our relationship with God, but I do believe there are things we learn from the Tabernacle that we can and should implement in our lives. This verse tells us to never let the lamps go out in our lives. We can say from this that God starts the fire within us, but we have to tend the flames to make sure they are strong and never go out. I must walk with the Lord in prayer and devotions so that fire never goes out. I want to live in constant relationship with the Lord and want to maintain His fire in my life. I don’t want my love to grow cold. I want to live a life on fire for God.

Prayer:

Father, as the song says, “don’t let my love grow cold.” Help me to live on fire for You at all times. Let my life count for Your kingdom. Work in me and through me for Your purposes. Let me walk in Your presence and fulfill Your purposes. Let my fire burn strong till the day I leave this earth and step into the fullness of Your presence.

Forever Yours,

Jeff
