Simple

Another word that can have many different meanings. The Bible has different meanings for the word such as the one in this verse;

"And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding," Proverbs 7:7

Here the word means not smart, but not in the way we think today. These people are young and simple or naive because of their youth. This would seem negative but not really, because sometimes being naive is good. It is good for kids not to know all the things of the world.

"And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand." II Kings 3:18

Here the word means easy. It is easy for God to do something. It is not so easy for us unless we let God help us. We spend to much time making mountains out of mole hills, when in Gods hands mountains are mole hills, and He has no problem with them.

"For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil." Romans 16:19

Here the word is used as in the Proverbs verse.... it means innocent. Paul was saying that He wanted Christians to be wise in all the good things, but simple in evil things and that helps us stay away from them.

The Bible also says that the;

"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;"  Psalm 19:7

So giving testimony about the Lord and loving the law will help make the simple wise. God's word will never return void, so proclaiming who God is and giving testimony to what He has done in your life will make you wise.

Thanks for reading... sorry so short, I am very tired. I actually wrote this at 1:38 am this morning in the airport in Rhode Island. I didn't post it because I wasn't sure it was ready. It is better than I thought and says exactly what I wanted to say. God Bless You All!
