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).
