So guys I'm totally loving 2 Peter, especially chapter 1.
Today 2 Peter 1:19 lifted me up; it has everything to do with the purpose of this revolution!
"We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." (TNIV)
At first this verse threw me for a loop. It is beautiful and passionate imagery but what does it MEAN? I did a little research in my NIV Study Bible and I found that CHRIST is the morning star. The word, the prophetic message, is to light our paths until Jesus rises like the morning star to guide us. The word is our source of light that shines BRIGHTLY in a DARK place. We are instructed to PAY ATTENTION to it.
I'm reminded of Psalms 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." (NIV)
Until Jesus comes back to take us by the hand and lead us, the word of God should be made our director.
DIG DEEP!! You hold all the answers in your hands!
Love,
Kaity
