But the path of the just is as the shining
light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18: Amplified). I love Christianity. It’s more than a religion. It’s a practical and pragmatic relationship between man and God. It’s divinity in humanity. More than that, the evidence of this relationship is tangible. ... Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). It emboldens timid people. It sets captives (both in mind and in body) free. It liberates the poor from penury. It makes the transcendent heavenly life possible here on earth! Those that spend time with and in the word of God become what the word of God talks about. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). Just like cutleries that are placed close to a magnetic source take up magnetic powers over time, there is a rob off of God on those that spend time with Him! Moses is a clear example. He was veiled before people could successfully look at him when he spent quality time in the presence of God. The benefits of spending time with God and in His word can never be over emphasised. That is the only sustainable way to have good success in life! This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8). Show me a man whose life shines brighter and brighter, from glory to glory, from one level of grace to another, and I will show you a Christian who spends time with the word of God. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (1Timothy 4:15). |
