How do you get more light?
July 31, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:17
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
One of God’s most prominent character traits is His righteousness. How is His righteousness revealed to us? Romans 1:17 tells us: “…from faith to faith… the just shall live by faith.”
What does that mean? How does it work? Here’s how: As God gives you truth…and you believe that truth…God gives you more truth. Step by step, you grow from faith to faith. The more you walk toward Him, the more light you receive.
The more you obey the light, the more light you get. And forward it goes.
The reason some of us don’t understand the Bible more than we do is because we haven’t been living up to the light God has already given us.
If you want to understand parts of the Bible you don’t understand, begin to obey the part you do understand. Then you’ll understand what you didn’t understand. Understand?
ACTION POINT:
Meditate on 1 Corinthians 2:7—“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:” Ask God for faith that will reveal to you the hidden truths of His Word that are hard for you to understand right now.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
