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

Have you ever tried to assemble something while disregarding the instruction manual? Most of us have done this at least once in our lives and we found the results to be frustrating at best. Life would be easier if it came with an instruction manual at birth, but it doesn't. With that said, let me boldly declare that God, the Supreme Being who created man and woman in His image and likeness, has given to us in the Bible, simple instructions for living a life of wisdom, understanding, fulfillment and most importantly, how to know Him in a loving relationship. Through the bible, we find that God has addressed every area of life from pain and suffering, to marriage and child-rearing, as well as, a healthy work ethic and how to tend to our possessions (yes even God calls them our possessions, true capitalism), and how to treat our fellow man (just to name a few). He has given us wisdom in His words and as David has written in this verse, the unfolding of His words gives light (illumination) and it imparts understanding to the simple (foolish; silly). As a Christian, read this book daily, search out it's teachings, and apply its instruction and you will find light to guide you in every area of life.
