BIBLE IN A YEAR: Prov. 29-31

MEMORIZE: “They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man” (Job 12:25)
READ: Job 12:19-25
According to John 1:3, everything was created by Jesus Christ, including darkness. He is the Creator and darkness is just one of His creation and whatever is created cannot be greater than the One who created it. This is one reason light will always have supremacy over darkness. And when you receive Jesus into your heart, and His light radiates in and around you, darkness will bow to you just the way it bows to Jesus Christ its Creator.
“They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed” (Ps. 34:5). Whenever the darkness of shame lurks around, just look to Him. Feast on His Word. Meditate on His word. Take your gaze off everything else and be focussed on Him. His light will shine on you and as soon as shame sees it, it will take cover. Is shame on the prowl around you? The light of His presence will drive it far away from you today. Every yoke of shame is broken now. Because your face is on the Lord Jesus, you shall have honor instead of shame.
As long as you are looking at Jesus Christ, you will be surrounded by His light and darkness will keep its distance from you. However, when you withdraw or switch of light, darkness will reign. This means every time you quench the Spirit or grieve Him through disobedience or indulgence in sin, that is an open invitation to darkness. Job 12:25 says, “They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man”.
Anyone who forsakes Christ has no option but to grope in the dark. Are you turning down God’s express leading concerning your marriage partner, business, career or ministry? You cannot avoid groping in the dark. Do you disrespect, neglect or insult your parents - biological or spiritual? It will erode your sight and land you in darkness (Prov. 20:20). There are some people who have found it difficult to receive direction in life.
They have continued to beat about the bush. Sometimes, what they need to do is just by their side but they are never able to see it or sense it because they have breached God’s Word concerning relation with parents. Are you in any of these? Repent and make right your ways. Go and reconcile with your parents, take care of them and receive their blessing for the tide to turn in your favor.
ACTION POINT:
Ask God to replace every shade of darkness in your life and circumstance with His Light.
