Have you ever left home in a hurry because you were running late for work, only to be told later in the office that you didn’t comb your hair? Such an experience can be most embarrassing, but could easily be avoided by your taking out time to look in a mirror. There are times you’re so sure something is wrong with your make-up though you can’t see it. It’s at such times you need to check your face in a mirror; otherwise you would be uncomfortable throughout the day. This is why mirrors are so important and most people never think they’ve finished dressing up until they’ve observed themselves in one.
The Amplified Bible renders the 23rd verse of James 1 thus: “…he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror...” likening the Word of God to a mirror. This is quite significant because it vividly describes how we should apply the Word to our lives.
When you look into a mirror you see yourself, which means you ought to see yourself when you look in the mirror of God. “And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are continually being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendour and from one degree of glory to another…” (2 Corinthians 3:18 Amp). When you look in the mirror of God, which is the Word, you see the glory of God, and that’s you! The more you look into the Word, the more you become what you see in the Word. There’s a transformation, a transfiguration that takes place in your life from one level of glory to a higher one, Hallelujah!
Take the mirror of God today and observe yourself in a way you’ve never done before. Don’t go by what you feel or see, look into the Word of God and live your life according to what you’ve observed.
