Faintly Burning Wick
Faintly Burning Wick
"A faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged." Isaiah 42:3-4
The fire of God's manifesting presence is unquenchable. Sometimes it may seem as though God is distant. Quiet. Uninvolved. Even aloof. But don't believe it. God wants you to know that his name is Faintly Burning Wick for a reason.
In a day long before flashlights on every mobile phone, there were candles that were the primary source of light in a home. At times the wick gave off a large and significant light, and at other times the wick was faintly burning.
This image of God being a Faintly Burning Wick was a powerful word picture to that generation, but the principle must not be lost in our generation.
God wants you to know today that you are significant to him even when he seems more like a Faintly Burning Wick. He will not be quenched. He will faithfully bring forth justice on your behalf. He will not grow faint or become discouraged, and you don't need to become discouraged either.
Take Christ today as your Faintly Burning Wick.
Yes Jesus, I take you as the Faintly Burning Wick, the one who is unquenchable, invincible, unstoppable, irresistible. Even when I don't see it, you are still working. You are manifesting your presence and I trust you.
