The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. - Psalm 119:130
It is surmised by commentators of this verse that ‘the unfolding’ could refer to the “initial act of revelation, the process of interpreting God’s word, or applying the law to his heart.” When a soul is dark, it needs light shone into it to bring true life. The word of God is that light. While we are all not gifted Biblical scholars, we can understand scriptures intended meaning through the study of Bible customs, the scriptures themselves and much prayer. The study of Bible customs gives us fine nuances of meaning that may have significance in Jesus’ day. It takes work on our part to understand God’s word. Revelation can take place as we simply seek its meaning from the Holy Spirit. God’s intent is not to conceal things from us, but rather to provide wisdom and knowledge to all who ask. Diligence is required on our part. He knows those who can be trusted with imparted truth into their spirits so that they might become valued ambassadors of Christ. Becoming more like Christ does not come to us by osmosis, but rather by us counting the cost (Luke 14:28), then doing that which is required of us. Until next time…walk with the King and be a blessing!
