“Reflections of the fourth candle illuminate the night. Revelation of Your Beauty completeness in Your sight.”
The seven candlesticks orlampstand found in Exodus 25:32 is the shadow or concealed beauty of Jesus in His completeness in the Tabernacle or Tent of Meeting which Moses was instructed to build in the wilderness. (The Menorah) The seven candles represent completion as the number seven in Scripture can represent completion.
In contrast the nine candles of Hanukkah lampstand can illuminate or be a shadow of the Holy Spirit by the nine gifts and fruits of the Spirit.
Each lampstand is different but both reflect the Presence, the Gift and the Fruit of the Father. For in Him there is no shadow of turning only Love and Light.
May you be blessed lighting the fourth candle and enjoy His Love and Light all year long.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of Light, with whom there is no shadow of variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17 NKJV
Today begins the lighting of the first of nine candles celebrating Hanukkah.
Thinking on how this applies to my life as a Christian it occured to me the miracle of the light that shines in me because of the Holy Spirit (the oil) I can partake of Hanukkah in the spiritual by sharing the Light.
A word of encouragement to a co-worker who has lost hope in their situation. A prayer with a friend fighting a battle of sickness. A kind word of caring to a neighbor who is experiencing their first Christmas after the loss of a spouse or a child.
Surely in prayer and asking, the Father will light a new candle every day and cause His light to shine in darkness.
Celebrating and lighting the first candle of Hanukkah – Day One.

Jesus Calling Devotional – June 28th
When I opened the Jesus CallingDevotional book after this time with the Lord, I about fell out!!
May youTaste and See the Holy Spirit’s movement in all the good plans He has for each of you, in Jesus Holy Name!! Amen!!
Last night, I prepared “Petals of Grace” as a continuing to my Travel Journal posts.
Cozying into my early morning spot on the couch, spending some time quiet time, I began to question the post, and my plans to head out for early morning photos.
As I inquired, The Holy Spirit illuminated the “petals” in the post are actually “blossoms” from “almond” trees.
Almond blossoms have a huge significance in Scripture. Remember Aaron’s staff budding? (Numbers 17:8)
My spirit ignited!
What was He trying to tell me? I went digging for the Hebrew definition for “almond”.
The poem penned was written AFTER my quick dash out the door once I read the definition.
Yep, it was a morning of “no sleep” as I “hasten” for what He had to show me. Whatever was out there, I was not going to miss the opportunity to “see”!
