2 Peter 1:19 - “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 stumbled upon this verse by accident (if accidents are possible when it comes to the living and active Word of God). It was cross-referenced during my study in Proverbs. When I read it, I had to stop everything else I was doing. I was floored. Where had this verse been all my life? Like many hidden treasures in the Word, it had gone unnoticed by me.
Everything we have ever learned about God, about our Faith, everything that has been revealed to us in our hearts, it’s “completely reliable!” For those of us who have ever used a flashlight (or our cell phones) to find something in the dark, we know that light can cut through the darkness...even a small ray of light can cut STRAIGHT through the blackest shadows. Like a hot knife through butter, our TRUTH will pierce the LIES.
When the end of our time on earth comes, we will have done well to pay attention to the prophetic word from the Old Testament- those old-fashioned stories about Noah, about Adam and Eve, the Ten Commandments (even the movie with the pharaoh that had a weird ponytail coming out the back of his head), these stories are our prophesy and the Biblical foundation of the stories is just as reliable as the miracles of healing and provision from God in our present day situations.
When we feel like God is on cruise control in our lives, we need only remember- He is the same God today that parted the Red Sea, delivered His people, and “laid the Earth’s foundation” (Job 38:4). He never rests, nor does His power fade. His truth is in our hearts, from now until eternity.
