THE DIVINE PERSPECTIVE

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

This is an extraordinary statement! God, who spoke light into existence at the very beginning has now shined in our hearts. Why did He do this? What is the purpose of His light in our hearts? The answer is in the latter part of that same verse: “…to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” This is so powerful! If you’re a Christian, Christ lives in you, and His purpose is to reveal and radiate the glory of God through your life. Your life should be a daily manifestation of God’s glory.

Many people live their lives according to their feelings, circumstances, or how others perceive them. But as a child of God, you’re called to live according to the knowledge of God. This knowledge is the divine perspective: seeing life as God sees it and understanding situations as God understands them. This is called “the Truth.”

What does God think about your situation? What does He know? What does He say? His words are the ultimate truths. So, live by the knowledge given to us by God; align yourself with His truth and see life from His perspective and you’ll experience the outworking of His glory in your life. He has given us His Word and His Spirit to know His thoughts and understand His ways.

Therefore, you’re to live by this higher knowledge— the knowledge of God. When you truly grasp that God has shined His light in your heart to give you this divine perspective, you’ll understand that you carry an extraordinary power within you—the power to manifest His glory in every situation. This divine knowledge transforms you and causes you to live victoriously, displaying His glory to the world.

Prayer / Confession

Dear Father, thank you for shining your light in our hearts and giving us the knowledge of your glory in the face of Jesus Christ. I live by this divine knowledge, seeing life from your perspective, walking in your truth and speaking your Word regardless of circumstances, opinions, or external conditions. I continually manifest your glory in all that I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
