Walking in the light – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
“You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.” Job 22:28
Dear friend, God’s promise to you for today is from Job 22:28, “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.” Whatever you declare to happen in your life, it will be established for you. If you read Job 22:23 it says, “If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent”, whatever you declare it will be established. Whatever your hands finds to do, it will be blessed. Only condition is – return to the Lord Almighty and be far from wickedness and evil. Then, God will restore you to have everything as you declare.
Secondly, the Bible says, “Let your path be full of light.” When will your path be full of light? If you read Psalm 119:105 the scripture says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” When God’s Word comes to us, we declare that into being and that comes into being. Then whatever we do will be established. Proverbs 6:23 says, “For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life.” One side you have God’s command and the other side you have the teaching of the Holy Spirit in your spirit. As you walk in it, you will have light.
In the Bible we see how Saul who became Paul was walking in darkness. He was persecuting the church. He was ignorant of Jesus and was bearing witness to the death of Stephen. On his way to Damascus, the light of Jesus shone from the sky and he heard God’s voice calling out to him saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” Those words of Jesus transformed his life and he came into the light of Christ. Later, he writes “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.” (Ephesians 1:18) The light of Jesus enlightened the eyes of his heart and he understood God’s calling and fulfilled it. You too are going to be enlightened in your heart as you return to God, choose to walk by God’s commands and the teaching of the Holy Spirit from today.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Help me to return to You. Take away my weaknesses and strengthen me. Help me to hear Your voice in my spirit from today. Help me to walk by it. Help me to declare Your will in my life and let it be established. Bless this day Lord.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
