Bruised reeds and dimly lit wicks Part 2

The last part of Isa. 42:3 talks about dimly lit wicks. Jesus will never put what little fire that is left in your spirit out just because we are not burning brightly enough for Him. The phrase "dimly lit wicks" deals with people who know Christ and are not burning bright for Him such as Christians who are lukewarm or discontented with their spiritual condition, or the state of their local church. We live in a fearful and harsh world, how easy it is to lose the fire of the Spirit that should be burning wild in our life. The cares of the world affect us, dragging us down and putting doubts and fears in us. How wonderful it is when the wick is dipped deeper in the oil and a new and rich flame begins to burn. The Lord will always nurture those who are His, even if we feel our wick is dim and burning low. Let us purpose in our hearts to stay in a place to receive a fresh touch from Jesus. He loves us and wants us to burn with love and a hunger for His presence. Never let the enemy of our soul tell you that God doesn't love or care about you. He loves you with an everlasting love and His desire is to meet every need in your life.
