Psalms 119:129, 130
"Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul observes them. The unfolding of Thy words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple."

Why do we try to make it so hard on ourselves?
We want to walk in God's will and fulfill the plan He has for our life but we tend to walk around in circles, throwing our hands up in the air in disgust, our heads our low in despair wondering what to do next in our lives.

What should be your next step?
How can I be everything God wants me to be this New Year?
Should I change jobs?
Should I step up and commit to teach that Sunday School class?
Should I join the church?

Again, why do we make it so hard on ourselves?
The psalmist says that God's word "gives light". When you seem to be in the dark when it comes to the things of God, turn on the light. And you turn on the light by opening up God's word and allowing Him to speak to you.

He says, "It gives understanding to the simple." So you may not have a college degree. You may not even have a high school diploma. Who cares when it comes to finding God's will? His word brings understanding to the simple. That includes you. That includes me.

You need a light of confirmation?
You need it given to you simple and straight to the point?

Read God's Word!

Prayer: "Lord, gives us understanding from your word what you would have us to do today"
