The directions of Yahweh are pure, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:8
The Hebrew word for light means ‘to illuminate.’ When I finally understand a subject under the teaching of someone gifted, I’ll say he ‘shed some light on the topic.’ At creation, when there was darkness and chaos, God said, ‘Let there be light.’ He shed some light on the world and brought order.
Do you have a situation in your life that lacks clarity? Have you been asking God for understanding? Once He chooses to bestow the gift of light, His influence over darkened, confused, and oppressed minds is pervasive. He illuminates what is cloudy. He puts a magnifying glass over the twisted strands of thread, and suddenly, we can see the steps we need to take to untangle what is knotted.
For years, I may have struggled with a situation that seems wrong. I’m not at peace. I am in conflict when I think about it. But I don’t have clarity on what it is that’s wrong. Yesterday was one of those days that will go down in personal history. God shed light on things that lived in the shadows. Illumined, I could see everything clearly; today, there is a roadmap. Yesterday, I was lost in the fog. Today, I have discovered God’s plan. Yesterday, I was grasping at spiritual straws. Today, I have what I need in my hands. Yesterday, I had faith but no enlightenment. Today, I have hope because my prayers are precise.
The Word of God gives light to the eyes. Today, God is going to be the Light-giver across this dark landscape. For someone, He will cure spiritual blindness and allow them to see the light and glory of Jesus. For someone else, He will turn the light on a concept that correctly diagnoses what has been spiritually infirmed. For a teacher, He will enlighten a passage and give spiritual understanding for Sunday’s lesson. For a mother, He will enlighten the spiritual condition of her child so that she can apply spiritual cures. For a business owner, God will enlighten the discord within his company and lead him to replace worldly business strategies with scripturally based principles.
Light is a life-saving thing. When I need it, and God gives it, I fall on my knees in gratitude. And when He gives it, I am responsible for taking the light to the darkness and exerting spiritual rule in favor of the kingdom.
Show me what to do with what You’ve shown me. I am Your city on a hill. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Dear Christine,
In all of my prayers clarity has been the one thing I have not asked for. I’ve asked for what I’ve done wrong, were to go, how to handle or except and what to do,…to instill peace with a certain situation pertaining with my daughter. I’ve even handed the situation over to God as he is the ultimate director of our lives and we are all of his children. However clarity is the one thing I have not prayed for. Thank you. As I’ve said before there have been sooo many times that I have prayed concerning certain situations and the very next day I will read your devotional and it will be as if God is speaking directly to me through you! I cannot thank you enough for the spiritual gift the Lord has given you and how you have chosen to use it. May God Contine to Bless you and your ministry.
Such beautiful confirmation of how the Lord just illuminated a puzzling situation by giving me just one word..
But what a Word it was !
How can I respond to such beauty? Your words have touched my heart and given me hope in my confusion and fog of despair. I truly thank God for you and your beautiful, transparent ,open, and honest heart. God Bless you my dear sister in Christ.
