RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY MONDAY 18TH NOVEMBER 2024.
Peter’s beautiful words help us to further understand Christianity. In Christianity, we’ve been born into God’s marvelous light, His wonderful light. The word “marvelous” means wondrous. Most translations interpret this as if we’re being brought out of literal darkness into light. But that’s not the full
picture.
When it says He brought us out of darkness, the term “darkness” actually means obscurity. He called you out of obscurity. He’s not referring to being called out of the kingdom of darkness in a general sense, but rather being brought out of obscurity- out of being unknown, unrecognized, unnoticed, where nobody knows or cares about you.
He brought you out of obscurity into limelight, His wondrous or wonderful light. Why does He call it wonderful light? It will take several scriptures to fully explain this, but I want you to understand that this is the light of Jesus Christ.
In Luke 1:79, Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist spoke about the message of salvation that would be brought forth, saying that this message would illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: “To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” They were sitting in darkness, sitting in obscurity, but Christ would be their light.
This means His wonderful light does two things: it illuminates you and then makes you luminous. You become lambent and resplendent. Yours is the kind of light that both illuminates and transforms into a light source itself. The light is so strong, so dazzling that it turns its subjects into lights. That’s why it’s described as His marvelous light, His wondrous light. You’ve been brought into this light, and now you are lambent. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into your marvellous light. I’m no longer hidden, unknown, or obscure; I’m a city set on a hill, lambent with unquenchable intensity. My life is a testament to your transformative power as I continue to grow and glow in your wondrous light, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
