Today's "From Faith To Faith" devotional by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland is another excellent reminder!
HEAD FOR THE LIGHT!
We have also a more sure word of
prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines
in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19
So many times when we need
insight into a problem, we try to get it by focusing our attention on that
problem. We study it. We ponder it. We examine it from every angle. But the
Apostle Peter gives us a different approach. He says we should take heed (or focus
our attention) to the written Word of God until the answer to that problem
dawns on us through the light of revelation.
We use the term seeing the
light in the natural all the time. We say, “Have you seen the light on
that yet?” meaning, “Do you have insight into that situation?” Well, the
entrance of God’s Word into our hearts brings light (Psalm 119:130). It brings
the insight we need.
Have you ever been in a dark room
and tried to find your way out? Or been lost outside in the night? What is the
first thing you look for in these situations? Light!
It could be coming from under the
door or shimmering from a lamp in a house far off. But either way, you head
straight for it. You don’t waste your time studying the darkness. You don’t
focus your attention on that. You fix your eyes on the light because you know
its brightness will drive out the confusion of the darkness and orient you to
your surroundings.
If you need insight on some
problem or situation you’re facing, pay attention to the Word. Head for the
Light and the answer you need will dawn on you.
AMEN! ALWAYS look to the Word of God FIRST! Then all of your choices and decisions will be wise ones that will produce the desired results! Thank You, JESUS, for Your Word! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
