Psalm 119:130(ESV)
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that the entrance of God’s Word gives light and understanding to the simple. Infusing God’s Word into our hearts brings undeniable illumination and insight. We are prone to stumbling without God’s Word to light our paths. It operates as an unwavering beacon, revealing the correct path to follow. God epitomizes His Word, so every embraced, believed, and implemented Word becomes as unstoppable as God Himself. Therefore, the radiance of God’s Word enlightens us and grants us authority over everything. 2 Peter 1:19 says, “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” The Apostle Peter emphasizes the importance of focusing on the written Word of God until the answer to any problem is revealed through the light of revelation. This underscores the superiority of the inspired Word of God, particularly the prophetic passages. Merely receiving the Word is insufficient; true dominance over our circumstances comes from active belief in the Word of God.
The Word of God serves as the ultimate source of spiritual enlightenment, providing guidance to prevent us from succumbing to the moral and spiritual darkness of the world. It equips us to make sound decisions regarding issues that have the potential to lead to our downfall. The adversary is acutely aware of the significance of light and is well-versed in exploiting darkness. Consequently, he seeks to subdue individuals by extinguishing their spiritual light and casting them into profound darkness. However, the Word of God possesses the transformative power to illuminate the darkness that surrounds us. When we actively apply the Word of God, the forces of darkness yield, as darkness is incapable of withstanding the authority of light. In essence, the supremacy of light over darkness is immediate and absolute. For instance, when we turn on the light in a room, darkness gives way instantly. Likewise, turning on the light of the Word of God on the powers of darkness will cause darkness to surrender to the authority of the Word of God. So, the Word is light that shatters all gang-ups of the powers of darkness. John 1:5 says, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” Our unquestionable triumph is sure when we engage the light of the Word in any battle of life. By the Word, God created everything, and they all remain under the order of the Word forever.
Beloved, to see insight from the Word, ensure that you are interested in God’s Word. Spend time on the Word. Read, study, memorize, and meditate on the Word with unrelenting zeal and hunger. God’s Word in you will put the devil to flight, facilitate your deliverance, and bring in your miracles. Darkness may endure for a night but be assured that the Sun of Righteousness will rise in your life in the morning. Even though the devil may have succeeded in putting out your light by whatever means, our Lord Jesus Christ can make your light shine again by the power of His Word. Focus your efforts on exploring the light, not the darkness. 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. Pay attention to the Word of God and head for the Light; the answer you need will dawn on you. Receive the light of God for illumination, direction, sustenance, health, peace, and joy in the Name of Jesus. Remember, meditate on God’s Word day and night, and it shall be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.
O LORD, thank You for Your Word. I receive the grace to encounter fresh light from Your Word in Jesus’ Name.
