BURN THE BUSHEL!! That’s what happens when the candle gets really, really HOT, and becomes a fire that can’t be covered! It’s happening!
Here’s the context. I had been thinking on Matthew 5:14-16 about being a city on a hill, and letting your light shine, and I was picturing somebody putting a bushel (a big basket) over a candle. I thought, “I wonder if it would make the candle go out, …or maybe the candle would catch the basket on fire. Just depends how hot the candle is.” Then I heard the Lord say, “If that candle was hot enough… if it was a roaring fire, that bushel would be nothing but fuel for the flames!”
So whether the bushel is self-imposed, or someone else is trying to put it over your candle, it’s time to let the fire blaze, and “burn the bushel”! Amen?
