“Simple but True”
Psalm 119:130
The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple. (NKJ)
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 lost people will open the Bible in search of something that will comfort their weary 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 lose their way again, only to remain in the darkness that is holding them captive (v. 105). 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 indeed 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).
A Whisper of Hope
I Am the Light of the World…I Am the Word that brings life to My people. My Word was given so that you would find life in Me—the Light that brightens your life-journey’s path; that will keep you out of the darkness so you will not fall into the pits of hell. Remember, dear child; that My Light brings you hope and joy; the darkness brings only pain and sadness.
Psalm 119:105
Your Word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path. (NKJ)
2 Peter 1:19
So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. (NASB)
1 John 1:1-2
The One who existed from the beginning is the One we have heard and seen. We saw Him with our own eyes and touched Him with our own hands. His is Jesus Christ, the Word of Life. This One who is life from God was shown to us, and we have seen Him. And now we testify and announce to you that He is the One who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then He was shown to us. (NLT)
