Definition of wax: A plastic, dull, yellow substance secreted by bees for building cells; beeswax; It is hard when cold and easily molded when warm- Used for candles, modeling, etc.
Love, love, love this definition of wax. Let me tell you why! It is hard when cold and easily molded when warm. Huh. Kind of like our hearts, huh?! When we are cold towards the things of God, we are not easily molded. But when we are warm..or even hot- watch out world because it's then, and only then that the Lord can shape us and mold us.
Psalm 97:5
The mountains melt like wax before the Presence of the Lord..
So here's the thing, we don't ever want to get legalistic about our walk with the Lord. Everyone has been called to walk their own 'walk'. So what is it today that's causing your wick to be covered by wax? Whats stopping you from burning bright for the Lord Jesus Christ? For some, you might just need to get back into reading the Word and letting the Lord change you through His Word. For others, you need to put Him first in your life again- and start setting aside some time in your week where you just turn on the praise and worship and sing a new song to Him. As we do these daily disciplines in our life, not out of obligation, but out out of a love for Him- We will notice (and others will notice too!) there's a light burning on the inside that can't help but shine out!
MATTHEW 5:16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
