"We have something more sure, the Prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the morning star rises in your hearts..." 2 Peter 1:19
Peter was an eyewitness to the Glory and the light of Christ. He saw with His own eyes the ancient prophetic word coming to pass. In this passage, he is telling us to pay attention to the Prophetic word in the scriptures that they were not produced by man but are from God through man carried along by the Holy Spirit. He tells us that we will do well by paying attention.
If you walk into a dark room and someone turns on a light within the room, your eyes are naturally drawn toward the light. If you walk into a dark room and there is no light, what is your first instinct? You go directly to where you think the light switch is, right? How many of us like to walk around in a dark room? We don't, we head for the source of light. Jesus is that light, he is the morning star. Everyone is looking for the light, whether they are consciously aware or not is another story. Some people are following a false light/artificail light. See is this way, we are happiest in the natural sunlight, the artificial light of a light bulb can not create the same effect of joy and happiness that walking along on a cloudless bright sunny day can. The joy and light of Jesus is like a sunny day, where as following false prophets is like the light of a light bulb. There may be gladness to have some light but they are missing out on the full effect of the pure bright light of Christ. Pay attention to the light you are following and what it is producing in you. False prophets are among us as Peter warns in 2 Peter 2. Always, always take responsibilty for your walk with the Lord by paying attention to the scriptures and what they say and by spending time with the Lord your self. You will do well...
Lord I thank you for the inexpressible and glorious joy that the pureness of your light brings to me. I pray for those who are walking under the influence of false light. Rise up within their hearts O, Lord that they may know the Joy of walking in pure light.... In your name Yeshua I ask , believe and receive
