Reflection for the week 3 JUNE - 9 JUNE

GUIDED BY THE LIGHT OF HIS WORD

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK

READ and MEDITATE

PSALMS 119:130  (NASB)

The unfolding of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.

 
(NET)
Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. They give insight to the untrained

(CEV)
Understanding your word brings light to the minds of ordinary people. 

(ESV)
The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
 

MEDITATION

“Your instructions” means that God’s Word is not for casual reading, like the way we approach a novel. A novel does not instruct you to live by it. It does not ‘demand’ obedience.

“Understanding your word” means that the Word of God does not just demand obedience without giving a personal understanding of why we must do so. The Word gives insight, brings light and imparts understanding. 

“The unfolding of your words” speaks of the Holy Spirit who enlightens us and reveals the heart and the will of God to us. 

(1 Corinthians 4:11-12)
¹¹For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.”

ACT

When Light comes through His Word, God requires us to walk in it.

Are you feeling anxious as you consider the future? Read the Word. Seek His understanding. He will “impart” understanding to you. The Holy Spirit will give you “insight” into matters that will help you to make the right choices and decisions as you move forward with life.

WORSHIP

“WORD OF GOD SPEAK”

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say
Word of God speak
Would you pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That you're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In your holiness
Word of God speak
I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
