Psalm 119:130 ” The unfolding of Your words give light; it gives understanding to the simple.”

If you’re like me, you’ve read a particular passage in the Bible numerous times, when sudden you read it again and it jumps off the page at you…for the Holy Spirit wonderfully  reveals the scripture in a completely different light and with such clarity that it’s like reading it for the very first time.  This unfolding of God’s word is like a light shining in a dark place…it is the lamp for our feet and a light for our path. (Psalm 119:105)  This unfolding of His word,  takes what was once a mystery and makes it known to us…it takes what was once hidden but now is revealed to us.

II Samuel 22:29 You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light.”

I really hate getting up in the middle of the night and stumbling around in the dark.  It can be scary and potentially  dangerous.  But if I simply first turn on a lamp, it changes everything.  My fear of falling or tripping over some unseen thing goes away…for now I can see clearly  my path.  God’s light…His truth, is like a floodlight to our life’s path…illuminating all the precarious obstacles in front of us, so that we may walk in safety.
