Psalms 119:130

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:130. The entrance of thy words giveth light;

The very first principles, the elements of God’s Word, are full of light and no sooner does it come into the heart than there is light directly. How much more light does it give when it penetrates into the secret chambers of our being, and we begin to understand its deeper mysteries!

Psalms 119:130. It giveth understanding unto the simple.

God’s Word gives understanding to those who feel that they have very little mental ability: "the simple." They are only plain people, who must have the truth put very simply before them, or else they cannot comprehend it; but as soon as ever God’s Word enters their heart, even such people get understanding. It is not the Word outside the heart that gives the blessing; it is the entrance of the Word that gives true life to the soul.
