“Light Is Sown For The Righteous”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 97

The Righteous is the man or woman in right-standing with God through faith in the Blood of Christ.

Light is sown for this individual. Their spiritual blindness is healed. They can now believe God for anything. They no longer walk in dark places or sin. They walk in the Light of His Righteousness.

This Light sown is the Life in the Righteous man or woman.

John 1:4-5 “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

The Life that was in Him was God the Holy Spirit. He is the same Holy Spirit sown into the Righteous (the Believer).

The same Holy Spirit that enlightens the Believer today.

John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

The Light sown is Life.
The Light sown is Spirit, the Holy Spirit.

The Psalmist declares His lightnings enlighten the earth.

Let’s read:

Psalm 97:1-4 “The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. [2] Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. [3] A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. [4] His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.”

His Lightnings enlightened the earth in the Person of Jesus Christ. He said He is the Light of the world.

John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

The world saw the Light and they trembled.

John 9:5-11 “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. [6] When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, [7] And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. [8] The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? [9] Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. [10] Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? [11] He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.”

His Light continues to enlighten the world today in every nation. Anyone who is healed spiritually, emotionally, and physically has experienced this Light.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 97:5-6 “The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. [6] The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.”

The Heavens declares He is the Righteous one.

Matthew 17:2-6 “And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. [3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. [4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. [5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. [6] And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.”

Not just mountains but men and women melt at His presence.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 97:7-10 “Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. [8] Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. [9] For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. [10] Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.”

He delivered the Saints from the wicked one (the devil) by the shedding of His blood. The Life in His shed blood became accessible to the Believer by faith. This Life in His shed blood is the Light of the Believer.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 97:11-12 “Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. [12] Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.”

Light is sown for the righteous.
The Light is Life.
The Light is Holy.
The Light is Spirit, the Holy Spirit.

Let the Light be sown into your life. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Light as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Light of the world, in Christ!
