“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)
Our God has provided us with all that we need. This includes the instruction that we need to live the Christian life. He knows our needs and has provided help for us in the Bible. We read about this in the second letter written by the Apostle Peter. God has spoken to us through the Old Testament prophets and also through the apostles such as Peter who wrote these words in today's verse. Yes, God's word in the Bible is like a light shining in a dark place. As we read the Bible, and as we hear it taught and preached, its teaching lights up the way for us as we pay attention to to it. It dispels the darkness that clouds our understanding. Like the morning dawn, which brings light to our days, the Word of God which we receive in our hearts from the Bible, brings the light we need to understand how and what God is leading us to. We do well to pay attention to the message given to us today, it has the promises of God for our lives.
