Light is sown like seed for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart (Ps 97:11 NASB).
We often hear of seeds sown as representative of a financial offering, but did you know that light has been sown like seed for the righteous. Does this make your heart rejoice? It does mine. I am constantly amazed day-by-day at the goodness of God. Light sown like seed tells me that a glimmer of direction and guidance is already in place, which will come into being at just the right time. When the time comes, that which has been sown will come forth and the very light that I need to see will be awaiting me. I do not know about you, but I am constantly seeking God for direction and help. I need Him, and I can say with certainty that you need Him too. We all need to know where to walk, and we need to see where we are going as well as which path to walk on.
One afternoon, years ago, I was taking an S.U.V. full of children to the zoo in Jacksonville, Florida. We were all excited to spend the day having fun on our outing. I had stopped to fill my vehicle up with gasoline and I was directed by the Holy Spirit to pray over the vehicle. Please hear me. It was not your typical pray before you travel prayer. I felt a sense of real urgency. I was overwhelmed in my spirit with an urgent need for warfare prayer. I knew in my spirit that this was direction from the Lord. We traveled from southeast Georgia to Jacksonville, spent the day, and we were on our way back home when a Mack truck pulled out right in front of me. Just a short distance away, another vehicle was practically at a stop on the interstate in front of me. I had no place to go. Now I do not know if you are a believer in supernatural intervention, but I want you to know, God spared me and a whole SUV filled with children. I will never forget that moment. It was though the hand of God opened a path just wide enough for me to pass safely through. Our lives were spared that day. I am so very thankful for the light that had been sown for me.
Light sown, that showed me my need for urgent prayer. Light sown, that showed me, there was danger ahead. Light sown, that showed a narrow path of escape. I am forever thankful for light, which has been sown like seed for the righteous. Our God is a great and mighty God. He reigns, and He deserves all of our love, our adoration, and our devotion. Prayer is, in a word, intimacy that we have to choose to pursue. There is great power in prayer that is led of the Holy Spirit; when you've been led to pray by the power of the Holy Spirit, the victory is already yours. Do not doubt, but rejoice in the victory that awaits you.
