I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Exodus 27. “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come” (Verses 20-21). Most Bible scholars believe that oil is a representation of the Holy Spirit. which would make sense. The Spirit is always with us, always a reminder that we follow God, serve God, belong to God. The need to have the lamps burning all day everyday, served the same purpose for the people of Israel it was a reminder of who they were and Who they belonged to. Don’t despise the correction of the Spirit, don’t be bothered when He prompts you to stop whining. He is doing what He was sent to do remind us of Who and Whose we are.
