Meaning

If I take the __________ (bread) to the __________ (waters), many days later I will see ___________ (bread).

THE DESPISED LAMP

Bible verse: Job 12:5

“He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease”.

Think about the Physical and the Spiritual

What is a physical lamp used for? To give physical light.

What is a spiritual lamp used for? To give spiritual light.

If I despise or reject a physical lamp,

I am rejecting physical light.

If I despise or reject a spiritual lamp,

I am rejecting spiritual light.

If I try to physically walk in a physically dark place
without physical light, I am going to fall down (physically) or slip with my feet.

If I try to spiritually walk in a spiritually dark place
without spiritual light, I am going to fall down (spiritually) or slip with my feet.

Now, let’s discover the Spiritual meaning of the Real Objects in this verse.
