The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.
– Psalm 119:130(NLT)
SIMPLICITY OF GOD’S WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
God’s word is simple enough for all to understand
It brings about light and wisdom to all humans
It pierces the heart of everyone who seeks it
Correction and teaching comes from the Holy Spirit.
Seek it and you will find clarity and peace
It leads you to freedom from attacks of the unseen
Consume and meditate on it day and night
You will find wisdom, blessings and insight.

Why are some books hard to read or study? When I was in high school, I hated history because of the memorization that went along with it. It was something that I didn’t take pleasure in. I loved Mathematics in grade school up until high school. Though there are formulas to memorize, I was challenged because my brother and I were tutored by my mother’s friend. She is s smart and pretty lady, so, her personality brought inspiration to learning Math skills. When I went to college, a history professor, changed my perspective about the subject. She made me see history as compilation of stories and not just dates and people’s name. I began to see it very differently after that.
The bible may be hard for some to read, but if you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, it is the simplest to understand.
