(Keep Looking Into The Mirror Of God’s Word)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 3:18
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

LET’S TALK
Before all the hustle and bustle of each day, Liam would always look into the Scriptures to see his real self in Christ. He would spend time looking into the Word, personalising scriptures, and declaring them about himself.

As a result, he radiated a joy unknown to others whose minds were burdened by the issues of each day.

God gave us His Word to enable us to see ourselves the way He sees us, understand things from His perspective, and live to fulfil His perfect will.

God’s Word reveals God’s image and opinion of you, which is the image and opinion He wants you to have of yourself.

So, as you study the Word and see your true image and identity, retain the picture; don’t forget who you are.

James 1:23–24 says, “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”

Observe the underlined portion. Interestingly, it doesn’t say that the one who doesn’t do the Word forgot what he looked like; rather, it says such a fellow is like a man who looks carefully at his own natural face in a mirror, thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and forgets “the kind” or “the type” of man that he saw.

God’s Word reveals the type or kind of person you are—the “species” of being that you are. That’s extraordinary.

For example, in 2 Peter 1:4, the mirror—the Word—shows that you’re a partaker of the divine nature, an associate of the God-kind.

In Ephesians 1:22, the mirror shows that you’re seated together with Christ, and all things are under your feet. You have dominion over all things.

You reign victoriously over Satan, sickness, failure, and death. Hallelujah! This is who you are according to God’s Word; live accordingly. Praise God!

2 Corinthians 3:18 AMPC; James 1:22-25

Pray:
Dear Father, your Word is the reflection of your immense glory, greatness, excellence and success deposited in my spirit. I’m the expression of your righteousness and the unveiling of your goodness to the world. I’m the effulgence of your glory, perfections, beauty and grace, and I’m conscious of your supernatural life in me. My life is indeed an unveiling of the virtues and perfections of divinity. Hallelujah!
