Light Out Of Darkness – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional August 10th

(God’s Eternal Glory Beams Brightly From Within Your Spirit)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV
“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”

LET’S TALK
The opening verse is an extraordinary description of something scientifically impossible.

Notice the verse isn’t saying that God commanded the light to shine into the darkness; that would have been wonderful because the question then would be, “Where did the light come from?” Then we’d say, “It came from God; He shone into the darkness.”

But this time, God didn’t shine the light into the darkness; rather, He commanded the light to shine forth from it. So, the light came out of darkness!

This is the same God that has shined in our hearts—to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Remember, there was the glory of God in the old tabernacle in the days of Moses. That glory, the Bible says, faded away. But the one from Jesus Christ is eternal glory—excellent glory.

That’s the glory that resides in you today: “…We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us” (2 Corinthians 4:7 NIV).

Every day, declare that you’re a carrier of God’s divine presence, and a bearer of His glory.
Your life isn’t empty; there’s a treasure of power, love, light, and divine perfection in you. The excellence of His power permeates through you, causing everything you do to prosper. Glory to God!

Speak:
The glory of God that’s within me beams forth from my spirit with overwhelming intensity. My life is the expression of God’s grace, strength, perfection, beauty, and righteousness. The excellence and virtues of divinity are manifested in and through me in ever-increasing beauty and brightness! I’m continually transfigured from glory to glory, by the Spirit, as I study and meditate on the Word. Hallelujah!
