Psalm 119:130

“The entrance of Thy Words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”

DAILY READING    Mark 15:21-47; 1 Kings 11; Hosea 13

Associating light with safety is one of those feelings that’s so universal. If you walk alone at night in a city or suburban area, you will probably prefer routes that are well-lit, over those that aren’t.  Part of the safety precautions that are given by the police is, if at night you are in a deserted or dark area, look for a lighted place or building and stand there until help arrives.

This is because light discourages criminals from carrying out those  activities, that they normally would hide under the cover of darkness to carry out. Where there is light and they have no hiding place they are not likely to carry out their evil activities.

In many cities, one major way governments have been fighting crime is by lighting up dark streets and corners. Intelligent street lighting is emerging as one of the tools that’s helping to make streets safer .  Hitherto crime zones once flooded with light had criminal activities drastically reduced.

Psalm 74:20 says  ‘Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.’

Evil likes to hide and thrive  in dark places. When we keep our lives lighted  by The Word of God, then there will be no room for the devil to operate in our lives. Spiritually also man is oppressed from the regions of darkness. It is the dark regions in a man’s life that gives room to the operations of darkness.. But when light comes every darkness  must disappear. What you need to guarantee victory against the operations of evil forces is an introduction of the light of God’s Word. The Bible declares in John 1:5  “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.’

Any challenge faced by any man is from the region of darkness. This includes sickness, failure and repetitive evil cycles. You cannot fight darkness in darkness! The solution to every work of darkness is introduction of light. You cannot wrestle sickness in ignorance; what you need to do is to go into God’s Word and find out God’s promises for your health and wellbeing and introduce that Word into this area of darkness. Whenever light appears. darkness will automatically flee. Light and darkness do not struggle for right of place.

Psalm 119:130 says  ‘The entrance of Thy Words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”

This means that it is our responsibility to study The Word until it enters us and floods our lives with light. The light from God’s Word is what dispels every form of darkness from our lives.

In John 8:12 Jesus says ‘I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life’

When we follow Jesus there will be no hiding place for darkness in our lives. It is the light from the Word of God that dispels the works of darkness. A man who will not study the Word will find himself suffering all manner of demonic oppression. It is in the outer regions of darkness, where there is no light from God’s Word,  that men suffer weeping and gnashing of teeth. And according to Revelation 5:3-5, until the Book is opened, weeping continues. It is only when the Book is opened that weeping will cease. Therefore to end the oppressions of darkness, we need to flood our lives with light from God’s Word.

We must make a commitment to study The Word constantly so as to keep our lives lighted.

And as we begin today, to daily open the book of life to access light, indeed every form of weeping, whether in secret or public, will surely cease in our lives in Jesus Name!

PRAYER:  Lord, Please enable me to so study Your Word until my life is filled with Your light. As Your light dominates my life there will be no hiding place for darkness. Thank You Lord for victory through Your Word in Jesus Name.
