“Simple but True”

Scripture:

Psalm 119:130
The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple. (NKJ)

Observation:

As soon as God’s words find their way into the soul the light of His Truth begins to shine through the darkness of any troubled heart, bringing both hope and understanding. It is often out of deep desperation that many a lost soul opens the Bible in search of something that will comfort their soul and give them hope, but if the person does not allow these enlightening words to seep deep into their soul, its light will dimly flicker and they will surely lose their way, only to remain in the darkness that holds them captive (v. 105).

Application:

When we allow the true words of God to penetrate the hardness of our hearts (that living in this difficult world brings) it will open up our minds to its life-saving instructions, which are clear and easily understood, for in God’s providence and grace He will shine His eternal Light upon its pages for you to absorb (2 Peter 1:19). One cannot merely see or hear the words of God and experience the transforming power it brings, for unless they shine brightly in both the heart and the soul, these words will remain foreign and impossible to understand. Mankind has proven over and over again, throughout the ages, that when we are disconnected from our Creator, we are oblivious to His words of truth, leaving ourselves unprotected and in the hands of Satan and this dark and evil world he reigns in, causing much chaos and destruction in its wake. Without God’s Word and the Holy Spirit dwelling in your heart this life becomes a very lonely and hopeless place, and the longer you live the more proof you have that God is faithful and longs for your salvation. See it, touch it, read it, and feel the power of its Truth, my friends, for the Light that it shines will surely, as the dawns coming light, subdue any darkness in your life, so that you will be able to see the Way that leads to Life (1 John 1: 1-2).

Prayer:

Thank You O LORD, for the Light of Life that gives us the hope we need to face this dying world and the lies it hangs on to. Thank You for Your mercy and grace and for the Word that comforts our souls and brings us peace. There is none as mighty and upright as You, O Lord our God. For only through You do we find salvation for our soul.

Amen
