20 "Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. 21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the Testimony, 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.

The Israelites were asked to bring pure olive oil

to be used in the lamps inside the sacrd tent.

These lamps were to be kept burning all the time.

Our lives, as lights, should be kept burning at all

times, too. Certainly we get tired, sick and

tragedies strike our lives. But no matter what

comes our way, we can keep glowing with the

light of God's love. He will provide the oil for us,

but let's be sure our lamps are full.

Quality is Better Than Quantity.

I call to remembrance my song in the night;

with my heart I meditate and my spirit

searches diligently.

Psalm 77:6.

God cares more about the quality of what

you learn than the quantity of teaching

to what you are exposed. He would rather

you read one scripture verse and get

revelation out of it than to read two

whole books in the Bible and not have

a clue about what you have red.

Listen for key messages that The Lord

is specifically speaking to you when you

hear good teaching through television,

radio, sermon tapes, a church service,

or a weekly Bible study. Ask God to show

you how to apply what you hear to your

own life. Meditate on His word each day and

look for ways to use what you have learned.

Then you will know what you are engaging

in and enjoying true quality time with Him.

Father, We thank You that You have given us

lessons in abundance in Your word. All we need

to know is written, all the things to get us

through life. Let us draw nearer to you each day

in Your word. Let us learn something of You each

day from Your word of life.

Giver of life we thank You.

Amen.
