Psalm 119: 130- " The unfolding of your word gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple."
God's Word is a wonderful gift! It tells us all about the attributes of God and guides us to make decisions that will fill our lives with blessings. It gives us the knowledge of who God is. As Christians, we should be consumed with knowing God; and by studying Scripture we receive that understanding!
The Psalmist longed for God's will and understanding. He searched and devoured Scripture to learn about Him and so should we. In verse 132 he reminds us of how merciful God is to those who love Him! What a promise!! That means in hard times, God will give us rest in the midst of whatever storm we are going through. He gives us a path to follow day by day, step by step. In this path He will deliver you from the wrongs of this world. Long to learn about Christ. To be like Christ. To show the love of Christ to those around you. When you truly know Him and who He is, it changes who you are.
I love what Kristin Schmucker wrote in the devotional book:
"We do not read Scripture for knowledge alone, but we read it because it is life changing. It helps us to know who God is, and who He is, changes everything!"
