Luke 15:8 ‘Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?’
DAILY READING –Luke 13:1-17; Genesis 23; Psalm 16
Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and a key figure in the scientific revolution. Isaac Newton is considered one of the most important scientists in history. Even Albert Einstein said that Isaac Newton was the smartest person that ever lived. During his lifetime Newton developed the theory of gravity, the laws of motion (which became the basis for physics), a new type of mathematics called calculus, and made breakthroughs in the area of optics such as the reflecting telescope.
Sir Isaac Newton, though a scientist, was also a devout Christian, who was used mightily by God to make astounding scientific discoveries. Part of why he made such great discoveries was due to his legendary dedication to his work. It was said at a party or social function, that he would sometimes be found under a table or in some corner scribbling in his notebook! This was the extent of Sir Isaac Newton’s fous on his work of scientific discoveries.
History has a record of many such men and women who through great dedication to their work made discoveries that marked a turn in human development. For many of them, the process of discovery took time but they kept at it: studying, researching, finding facts. When they eventually make that one discovery, they not only become celebrated, but also within them they experience a depth of satisfaction that becomes a justifiable reward for all the effort and arduous labor invested in their search.
It is the same when you devote yourself to search The Word to make a discovery. In Luke 15 the Bible talks about the woman who lost her coin and lighted her candle and searched diligently until she found the lost coin.
Today like that woman, many people are searching for their missing coin. In the course of life, they have something precious to them. Jesus came, among others, to restore all we may have lost. John 10:10 says ‘the thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly’.
It is God’s will that we live an abundant life, with nothing missing or lacking or wanting. And it is through the light of God’s Word that we can recover our lost coins. The word is the light that helps people recover what was lost in their destiny. As we study The Word, The Holy Spirit illuminates our mind to know what we need to do in order to see a restoration of what was lost. Indeed the recovery of destiny anchors on discovery of the Word. It is revelation that birth revolution. Discovery leads to recovery.
Sometimes by refusing to act according to the Word of God, we can lose things which originally belonged to us in the covenant. We can lose wealth, health, peace, etc due to ignorance or not walking in line with God’s will. We can however experience restoration or recovery of these things by simply going to the Book of Covenant, to search out where we missed it. Diligent search in The Word will locate your missing inheritance and when you find it there is a reward and your expectations are not cut off.
PRAYER: Father Thank You lord for granting me the grace for continual diligent study of Your Word. And as I study please help me to make the discoveries that will lead to recovery of all I have ever lost in Jesus name.
