PSALM 119:130

The entrance of Thy Words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 
• DAILY READING   2 Corinthians 8; 2 Kings 20-21; Nahum 2
God gives us light via His Word to see our way forward in life.  It is in His Word that we see light to understand the mysteries of our lives. We can never understand our times, seasons and reasons behind them except we come to The Word and allow The Holy Spirit to unravel truth to us. It is the entrance of The Word of God that gives us light.   

When Alexander the great arrived to  conquer Jerusalem. Something strange happened.  According to the historical account given by Josephus, a Jewish historian, as Alexander approached,  Jaddua the Jewish High Priest went out to meet  him having in his hand a copy of the book of Daniel. He opened the scroll and showed  Alexander  the  prophesy concerning   him.   In Daniel chapter 8 Daniel had prophesied of the conquests of the he-goat from the Greek empire, representing Alexander,   which were so swift that his feet appeared not to even touch the ground as he devoured “the whole earth” (Daniel 8:5). At that time Alexander had  with unprecedented speed  conquered  Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and all the way to India in only twelve years. With an army of only 30,000, he defeated Darius III who had 500,000 soldiers. His success was so extraordinary and  his  subjugation of the entire known world the most rapid humanity had ever witnessed at that time. Recognizing himself in that prophesy , Alexander marveled.  He was  so  impressed  that instead of destroying Jerusalem,  he peaceably  entered into the city  and worshipped at the Temple.

Alexander was humbled by the prophesy of Himself he found in the scriptures. God knows the end from the beginning and has already decided everyman’s destiny. Our job is to discover the destiny that God has already mapped out for us. And just as Alexander found about himself, there is also something written about you in the scriptures. When you search in The word, The Holy Spirit will begin to unravel to you, the script to the drama of your life. There is a reason why things have happened the way they have. There is truth you need to uncover that will aid you as you journey through life.  The Bible  is not an ordinary book.  It is God’s medium of communicating truth.  It’s our only true light in a world of darkness. To move forward in life, to fulfill destiny, you need to pay attention to what God is really saying in His Word.  When you begin to develop a culture of total regard for the Word, the Spirit will open up its content to you with depth of revelations you never imagined.  It will be the road map to your glorious destination. When you are guided by the light of scriptures you will never miss the path to your high places. 

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to access The Light in Your Word. Please give me understanding as I study scriptures, to  know the way forward for me. Please open me up to the revelation from Your Word that will revolutionize my life, so that I can begin to ascend to the glorious height You have ordained for me in this Eagle’s flight in Jesus Name.
