SCRIPTURE: Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Psalm 13:3
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Light signals hope.
Many years ago, I came across an experiment where a group of rabbits were put in an open container.
And another group of rabbits were put in a closed container. They were all struggling to get out of those containers.
It was discovered that within a short time, those rabbits in a closed container died in rapid succession because they saw no light. But those in the open container continued to struggle for freedom for as long as they could see light. The reason was, as long as they could see light, they could see hope.
You see, light signals hope. That is why when people are depressed, they love to stay in darkness. Depressed people like dark places.
Our anchor scripture says,
…lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
This means, “Lighten my eyes so I can have life and escape the sleep of death. Lighten my eyes so I can have hope.” So, light signals hope. And as light bearers, we are the hope of our generation.
Beloved, people who wish to die should look at you and change their minds, and opt for life instead of death.
Sometime ago, some people told me, “We have lost hope in our country, but whenever we see you pray for the nation the way you do, our hope for the country is revived afresh.”
No man of God is authorized to be a negative prophecy giver. Prophecy comes for edification and comfort. If anything negative is revealed to you, it is revealed so it can be deleted. God unravels what the enemy plans so it can be cancelled. He reveals it so you can reverse it.
Beloved, you are a hope giver, a hope distributor. You are the hope of your family, the hope of your community, the hope of your nation, and the hope of your generation.
Remember this: Light signals hope.
