Sometimes, when I am hiking a nature trail, I pass from a darkened area into a lighted area. In the area of light, I am suddenly able to see things that I couldn’t in the dark. Colors become vibrant and I notice details of the scenery that I hadn’t previously seen and I am amazed at the beauty now shown to me. Truth can operate in the same way. At times, we may not be able to see and understand the truth, unless our sight is brightened along the path of life.
Psalm 119:18 says, “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things our of your law.” Even when reading God’s Word, we need Him to open our hearts in order for us to understand truth. Our minds remain blinded in the darkness until God’s light unveils the truth.
