THE GREAT LIGHT

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined. - Isaiah 9:2.

Vision is the most developed sense in human because it combines information from all other four senses to help us form opinions and decisions. Our vision influences our perception and our perception shapes our faith. What you therefore see matters a lot to your life and they shape your future.

Vision is so specific and sensitive that what you see others may not. And it is possible to be in darkness without knowing or be blind to something that is obvious to others. So, it is not surprising to read the David say, “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things...”. Psalm. 119:18. And for this reason, our Lord Jesus Christ opened (the disciples) understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. (Luke 24:45). Great promises and blessings are hidden in the Scriptures for you. You need to see them to claim them.

 But the eyes rely solely on the LIGHT to function. Without the light the eyes cannot see! Jesus is the Light, the Way and the Truth.  Whatever you see without Christ is a mirage. You need Jesus to see truly. If you want to see wondrous and positive things, you need Jesus, the Light. Like certain Greeks who told Philip, saying, ”Sir, we would see Jesus.” (John 12:21).  See Jesus, See the Great Light.

The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory... give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power. Ephesians 1:17-19. Amen! 

Today’s Recite:The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. Psalms 19:8  

Today’s Morning Prayer:1. Oh Lord, Jesus, You are the light. Give me sight and vision of great things You plan for me.2. I confess of losing sight of You. That is past now.3. Help me to see wondrous things and not negativity.4. I pray you enlighten my understanding of people and things in my environment. Help me to see blessings and not evil. Keep me and my family safe in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
