God’s Word is light, and God said in the scriptures that we should let our light shine so that all men may see and so that by so doing our father in Heaven may be glorified. It is the Word of God that is contained in us that illuminates from inside out. The Bible also made it known to us in another portion that the entrance of God's Word brings light.
Our lives without the Word of God is equates to darkness. This is where the devil wants us to dwell in and that is why he does everything in his power to achieve this. One of the ways he does this is by bringing distractions our way.
He knows he can't stop us from hearing God’s Word , so what he does is to send distractions our way so that even if we hear we would not be able to listen and that is how we miss out of God’s blessings. A lot of people find themselves in this position and they are unaware of what is actually going on.
In order for us to see the change we desire to see in our individual lives we need to hold tight unto the Word of God with the whole of our hearts. It is one thing to hear and a completely different thing to listen and that is what important the most.
