Daily Bible Nugget #179, Psalm 119:130

The Nugget:

Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

My Comment:

The Scriptures are designed for illuminating. That means that as you read the Bible, it sheds light on the subject you are reading about. If you want to be enlightened about a subject the Bible discusses, then read the Bible itself and compare Scripture with Scripture by means of cross references to get access to the other verses that shed light on the verse you are studying. The entrance of God’s Word gives understanding to the ordinary person. Surely this verse teaches that the Bible is understandable.

For those who desire to DIG DEEPER into this subject:

(1) Consult the cross references given in Nelson’s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible on page 633 for Psalm 119:130.

(2) Consult the cross references given in The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on page 677 or in Logos 5 Bible software for Psalm 119:130.

(3) Lacking access to those two resources, consult the cross references for this passage as I have developed them as given below:
