We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. I have come to understand sunrise as really more of a process than a single moment. It begins with a lightening of the darkness of night at the edge of the horizon. Each minute the light shines a little brighter until the sun finally appears on the horizon. Becoming a Christian is like this. We begin mostly in the dark with only a small light of understanding. As we grow in Christ the light becomes brighter lighting up the dark places in our hearts. We grow when we spend time in the reliable message of God’s word. Peter describe the process of growing in Christ as being like the morning star rising in our hearts. As we spend time in the light of the scriptures a light grows inside of us that we can then share.
Prayer Lord God Shine your light in the dark places of our hearts as we spend time in your word. Amen
