Bible Verse of the Day Wednesday March 24th 2021

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

The word unfolding in this verse brings to mind the unfolding of a tent entrance. When the Children of Israel spent forty years in the wilderness, they all lived in tents. There was only one entrance to the tent, the front flap, and when it was unfolded it allowed light to come into the shelter.

When we unfold our hearts' entrance, it will allow the light of God's Word to come in and illuminate the truth that we so desperately need. It will make the everyday situations that we have to face become more transparent and easier to handle. It is a sad state of affairs that with God's light shining all around, some today choose to leave their heart flap closed and miss out on the Light of the World, Christ Jesus (John 8:12). The Light of the World does not find an entrance into some minds and souls because they are closed and blocked with self-importance, narrow-mindedness, and unconcern.

The very entrance of the Word of God into one's heart brings about a clarity of fullness of the one that is the light of the world. To hear the Word with the mind for the sake of learning is of little or no value; it is only when the heart is filled in every corner of every chamber with His light that we begin to feel a closeness to Christ Jesus. We can learn the origins and the glory and beauty of what life looks like after this short stay in this world Through God's Word. We learn what we are by nature and what we can become through the grace of God. We also learn what God has done and is continuing to do for us and what he expects of us. Furthermore, we can understand the enemy that we face in this life and how to prevail against him.

Some believe that one must have a Ph.D. in Theology to comprehend what God is teaching us in His Holy Word. The truth of the matter is not one person will completely understand the entirety of God’s Word in this life. The good news is we do not have to completely understand all that is in God’s Word, all we must do is believe it.

There are truths in the Gospel of Christ Jesus that God wants us to understand. There are also mysteries that we will not understand until after we have left our sinful bodies behind. Believing that Christ Jesus is the only way to eternal life and placing our faith and trust in Him, as our Lord and Savior, is the only way to life everlasting. We do not have to understand how that is possible, we just have to believe it and place our faith and trust in the fact that every word in the Bible is true.
