Unfolding Light // Psalm 119:130

Psalm 119:130 (NIV) | The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

Today’s verse made me think of what are called, heliotropic flowers; those that orient themselves toward the sun. The daisy is a famous type, whose name in the Old English means, days eyes. The daisy opens itself with morning sun, follows the suns path throughout the day, and closes at night. I think this speaks a great deal as to how we are to orient ourselves toward the Lord. As God told the prophet in Isaiah from whence the sun rises, to the setting of the same, He is the Lord. Yet we also get the incredible promise that there is no darkness at all in God! So, let’s make sure that we turn to the Lord who gives us His light as we learn His word and brings us the gift of wisdom that only comes in a relational proximity to Him.
