“So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.” 2 Peter 1:19 (NASB)
Our God knows the needs of His people. He knows that we could not get along spiritually by ourselves in this world. That is why He has revealed His thoughts to us in the Bible. We have our Bibles to read and we have opportunity to hear God's Word taught and preached. This privilege is what the Apostle Peter wrote about in the verse we have chosen for today. What would we do without the Scriptures which God has had recorded and preserved so well for us? We would really be in the dark about God and His creation and His love for us, wouldn't we? Peter compares God's Word to a light shinning in a dark place. And, Peter recommends that we pay attention to what it says and teaches us. If you've ever walked a path at night without light to guide your way, you know how important a torch or flashlight is to avoid the rocks, holes and even snakes on the path. God's Word is a light to our path in life which helps us to avoid the pitfalls and the snares and the evil workers who wish to trip us up. Trusting God's Word will guide us until the dawn when there will no longer be any darkness.
