FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is light and it is the beauty of the Lord.
Psalm 90
In the days when wickedness and darkness thrives, man need to be constant walking in the word of God. The word of God is light and when it shines darkness disappears. Walking the word of God is behaving the word and allowing the word of God to take charge in every affairs of one’s life. As the year begins to run out, it is worthy to give thanks for the past months and for the privilege of life. It is also worthy to ask God for His beauty to be upon us. Is there anything you desire this new day, take it to the Lord in prayer.The word of God is light and it is the beauty of the Lord. The Psalmist asked inPsalm 90:17, “And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.” Without doubt, the beauty of the Lord is light. 1 Timothy 6:16, “Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power, Amen.” Light is what enables us to see. Psalm 119:105 describes the word of God, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
When the light of God (the beauty of God) is on one, every work or attempt of darkness will be exposed. When His beauty (the light of God) is on one, there will be a way where there is no way and darkness shall disappear. But not so for others who cannot see because of the darkness that is upon them. When that light is upon you, it will bring you closer to God. One that gets closer to God will walk in revelation. Do you sincerely desire the beauty of the Lord our God to be upon you? Is the work of your hand facing challenges of different magnitudes? Jesus commanded in Matthew 7: 7-8, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”Ask Him with a heart of expectation. The Psalmist asked because he wanted the work of his hand to be established. He is a faithful God and He will give you the desires of your heart only if your desire is rooted in Him.
Prayer for today:Pray just as the Psalmist prayed by asking for the beauty of the Lord to be upon you and establish you against every form of evil agenda as the year run close to an end.
