Thought For Today: Prophecy’s Purpose

Prophecy is God giving us advance notice to divine actions to come, but not so we can speculate and make predictions, but rather for our obedience, and for our faith to grow.

“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:19-21)
