"Light, Understanding"

“Light, Understanding”

Blessings folk!

The Psalmist continues to state his longing for the Word of the Lord.
You have noticed the length of this Psalm?
The continuing outpouring of declaration and requests related to the Word.

Psalm 119:129-131
129 Your testimonies are wonderful;     therefore my soul keeps them. 130 The unfolding of your words gives light;     it imparts understanding to the simple. 131 I open my mouth and pant,     because I long for your commandments.

The Psalmist again declares the truth that the testimonies of the Lord are wonderful.
Because of this, his soul keeps them, he longs for them.
He literally had physical responses to the Word...panting, inhaling, exhaling.

Note what the testimonies...the Word...the commandments do.
The Word gives light.
The Word imparts understanding to the simple.

There ya go.
Light.
Understanding.

So many seek for the “profound”, the “deep”, the “hidden”.

If we seek the Word of the Lord, He will reveal that which He wants each to know.
Then, we can rejoice as the Psalmist.

Do not get distracted as many do.
Simply read, learn, seek, know the Word of the Lord and watch what He does.
May our souls...the seat of our emotions...keep the Word.
May we allow the Word to illuminate all we do.
May we long for the Word of the Lord.
