Pastor Chris
The entrance of thy words gives
light; it gives understanding unto the simple (Psalm 119:130).
Some people may not know this, but every human being has two sets of
eyes. The first is our physical eyes with which we see and appreciate the world
around us. The other set is the spiritual eyes, which, incidentally, most never
use, or don’t know how to use; they’ve never seen with the spiritual eyes. Such
people only see things from the natural point of view.
Only the Word of God can open your spiritual eyes. I remember the
testimony of a man who was healed in one of our meetings. For two years, he
couldn’t recognize anyone, not even his wife or siblings. While at the meeting,
however, he was fully restored to normalcy. Even though we didn’t physically
lay hands on him, he experienced a divine touch because he was in the presence
of God, where the Word was being taught. Hence, his mind was illumined to see
and comprehend rightly again—that’s the power of God’s Word!
Our opening verse says, "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it
giveth understanding unto the simple." Interestingly, the Greek Septuagint
uses the word "photizo," which means to illuminate or flood with
light. Therefore, the verse should actually read, "The entrance of thy
words floods with light…." As you allow God’s Word into your heart through
diligent study and constant meditation, your heart is flooded with light. It’s
akin to the Spirit’s prayer through the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:17-18 which
says "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes
of your understanding being enlightened…." He prays that the eyes of your
spirit will be flooded with light.
Even now, as you’re studying God’s Word in this devotional, something is
happening in your spirit. Your spiritual eyes are being flooded with light;
they’re being enlightened to see and apprehend the realities of our heavenly
Kingdom.
Confession
I testify that there’s light in my life and in all
that concerns me, because I’m yielded to the ministry of the Word. I refuse to
fret today or in the future because the light of the Gospel shines in my heart,
showing me the path of victory and success! There’s no darkness whatsoever in
my life; my way is bright and my future secure. Halleluiah!
