Light and Darkness

 

Part XVII

   What Psalmist prays for, to keep his eyes from seeing the bad images of this world to avoid the sins and pleading to God to give him the word of life. Lord, ‘Avert my eyes from pointless images, by your word give me life.’(Ps. 119: 37). Satan always tries to show us all the worldly things in front of our eyes. Our Lord gave us beautiful eyes, our heart, body and mind, which should not be corrupted by all these evil desires. Once these things start to corrupt us, our desires for Jesus and for the heavenly things will be vanished away. Psalmist pleads to God to give him the Word of life. Psalmist entrusted his life for God by praising Him with hymns and songs. His pen he always uses to write beautiful praising hymns to enlighten his mind and to avoid darkness in his life. So what should we try to see? Search from the Word of life, the Scriptures. Everything is hidden in him.16 Search in Yahweh’s book, and read, not one of these will be missing, not one of them lacking a mate; for thus his mouth has ordained it, and his spirit has brought them together.Is 34:16. Isiah the Prophet says read from the Bible and we will be guided by His spirit to understand the Scriptures. Jesus in his Gospel promised to give us the Holy Spirit ; If you love me you will keep my commandments. 16 I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you for ever, 17 the Spirit of truth whom the world can never accept since it neither sees nor knows him; but you know him, because he is with you, he is in you. Jn 14: 15-17. Here Jesus promises about the Holy Spirit and Worldly people cannot understand or know Him. He is the Spirit of the truth and we will understand the truth. The truth is Jesus, Jn 17:17;Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth.
