The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.” Psalm 119:130
The word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105
When we hear the word of God, we suddenly are hearing the truth. There are no lies, doubts or any hesitation to what he is saying to us. His holy word gives us the understanding as to how we are to live, to stay healthy and to communicate with those around us. His word is like a flashlight that leads us in the darkness. Without his light we will bump into the evil around us and not know how to react or to handle the things we confront. Instead of using anger, distortion and lies we will know to use his ways, which consist of peace, patience, joy and love. Even though we may deal with people who are unbelievers or those who just don’t know the Lord, He shows us the way to handle things. He gives us the words we are to use and the actions we are to take. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit who leads us and guides us into all truth. It is the Spirit of God who enables us to understand the word of God. It is by prayer that we ask for understanding and it is by belief that we receive the understanding from Him. As we talk with others about the ways of God, we help his light to shine before the path of those around us. Through us he uses his light to shine to help others to understand his teachings. We are to be well prepared and able to talk the truths and of his promises. We are to understand and live in his promises. He is the light and without Him we live in the darkness. We must always be prepared to be used by our Lord. He will put us in situations where his light is needed, and we will be charged with providing his word to those who need it. We must remember that he is the light and without him there is total darkness. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
