Oil for the Lamp (PDF + EPUB Devotional)
366 Evenings of Scripture, Reflection & Prayer for Rest and Renewal
366 evenings of Scripture and prayer to lay down the day and rest in God.
Lay down the day. Rest in God. Rise renewed.
In the tabernacle, the priests brought pure oil every evening so the lamp would burn through the night (Exodus 27:20). Oil for the Lamp invites you into the same quiet habit: a few minutes each evening to refill your soul before you sleep.
Each of the 366 evening readings gives you:
- The verse in full from the Berean Standard Bible
- Evening Reflection: a short meditation on the passage
- Looking Back on Today: a gentle question to review the day with God
- A Prayer for the Night: words of trust, confession and rest
- Rest on This: one line to fall asleep with
The months travel through the long night of faith: the lamp being lit, God who keeps us in the dark, the night Jesus was betrayed, songs in the night, watchfulness, wrestling until dawn, and finally the light in the stable at Bethlehem. Monthly "Trimming the Wick" pages help you pause and take stock.
If your mind races at bedtime, if worry follows you to your pillow, or if you simply want to end the day closer to God, this book was written for you. It is the evening companion to Fresh Every Morning, and it stands on its own just as well.
