“ Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually” (Leviticus 24:2).
Today’s verse doesn’t contain a suggestion. This was a command. If the lamps were to burn continually, somebody had to bring the oil. This responsibility fell to the Israelites. As long as the lamps were burning, they knew God’s presence was with them. The task of bringing the oil could not be left undone.
Do you ever feel “burned out” in the service of the Lord? Let Him fill you with His Spirit, ignite your flame and set you on fire for Him once again.
