Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as a shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day.”

(Amplified version) “But the path of the (uncompromisingly) Just and Righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until it reaches its full strength and glory…”

-As a believer, the path should be getting brighter & brighter, more and more clear..

We read in our last devotion that Paul was praying for the church at Ephesus that: “the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened…” Another translation of that scripture says that he was praying for the “eyes of their hearts would be flooded with light”

What light?

Jesus said in John 8:12 “ I am THE LIGHT of the world...He who follows me shall not walk in darkness but have the LIGHT OF LIFE…”

The Gospel of John declares that JESUS IS THE WORD.

John 1:1-5, 14 “In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2) He was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4) In Him was LIFE, and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5) And the LIGHT shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it…. 14) And the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Jesus is The Word and Jesus is The Light, so the light that should be growing in our life is the relationship we have with Jesus through THE WORD and THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Psalm 119:105 “Your WORD is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path…

1 Peter 2:9 “You’ve been called out of darkness into His marvelous LIGHT…”

1 John 1:7 “Walk in the LIGHT, as He is in the LIGHT…”

As a Man or Woman of God, our pursuit should be the increase of LIGHT by leaving the darkness of lies and worldly pursuits and growing that relationship with The Word of God, The Light of God! It’s a growing light, it grows brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer unto a NEW DAY!

1 John 1:7 didn’t say, look at the light, stare at the light, talk about the light, debate the light…. It says to ‘WALK IN THE LIGHT’

Don’t just hear the word, don’t just have a general knowledge of the Bible… I challenge you to have an intimate Fellowship with The Word… The Word of God is not just a book, it is the ACTUAL PERSON OF THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST.
