CORNERING THE MARKET

Ephesians 5:15-21

We must be keenly on the lookout for every opportunity to put in a bit of word or work that will count for Jesus, and so against evil. And when there is no opportunity, make one, persistently, boldly, but always tactfully. “Redeeming the time” is literally “cornering the market.” That is, get in before the devil, and get hold and don’t let go. Our Lord Jesus has redeemed all things. In his Name we take what he has bought.

Luke 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

ALWAYS CARRY THE LIGHT

Ephesians 5:6-14

The Christian can go anywhere, as the Holy Spirit leads, but only for the purpose of carrying the light, either directly or indirectly. Wherever the light is carried, it overcomes the darkness. Darkness can’t stand the light. Try it with a match in a dark room. It stays only where the light does not shine. W7hen the Light of the world—Jesus—is allowed to shine out through us. the darkness of evil is always overcome.

THE RED TINGE

Exodus 35:20-29

It’s the red mark of the life upon a gift that tells its worth. Here comes a poor man with some goat’s hair. He comes shyly up and slips quickly away. Here comes a man with several big pieces of gold and puts them on top, and walks away slowly, so folks can see. And the unseen Eye looking says, “This poor man gave most, for the red tinge of sacrifice is on the gift.” It’s the gift like the Master’s that does the Master’s work.

THE LIFE INCLUDES THE GOLD

1 Chronicles 29:1-5

Money is needed, and it means much to give money. Lives are needed, too, and needed immensely more. It means yet more, aye, it means most, to give the life. And when the life is given, given not in a crisis, but slowly, faithfully through the long years, that means that the savings are given, too. We’re to give our lives to Jesus, and for him, and then our earnings, too, as he guides.
