Life Light

“In Your light do we see light.”
- Psalm 36:9

Did you know that every time you open your Bible, prayerfully read it, and ask God to show you the meaning of the passage you’re reading, that you are bound to experience a miracle of God? I’m not talking about miracles of healing or signs or wonders, I’m talking about the miracle of God revealing something from His great mind to your mind through His precious Scripture. The theologians call this the doctrine of “Illumination“. We every day Christians just call it “hearing from God”. It’s our privilege, every time we open the Word. As David wrote in this Psalm, because God is light, He casts His light on the truth as we read the Bible. Been enlightened today?

Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us, not only through the crosswork of Your Son but through the intimate way You reveal truth to our hearts through the Bible. Help us long to meet You there every day, and not to miss the small but wonderful moments in which You speak to us through its pages. In Christ’s Name, amen.
