“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.” 2 Peter 1:19 (NIV)
As we read these words written by the Apostle Peter we remember how his readers would reflect on the the words of the prophets. People didn't have the Bible complete in those days but they could go to their meeting places and hear someone reading the Old Testament writings from a scroll. Even so, Peter spoke of those writings as being like the morning star shining in their hearts. Just think of how much more we have. Most can have a copy of the Bible in their home and we can read God's word for ourselves. We can also hear teaching and reading from the Bible. In whatever way God's word comes to us the promise we have is that if pay attention to it it will be like a light showing the way for us.
