 Promise #127: My Word will brighten your steps and light your path. Psalm 119:105 (WEB) Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. Have you ever walked along a forest path in the middle of the night without a flashlight? If you have, and there wasn't a full moon shining, it can be quite challenging to find your way around. Without light to guide you, you will inevitably stray off the path and, at the very least, bump into a tree. I believe the psalmist in today's promise is conveying the same message about the importance of God's Word for you and me. In the grand scheme of things, we are merely little boys and little girls who need all the help we can get. We lack the navigational tools to manage our own lives. We require both the written Word of God and the timely spoken Word of God to guide us through this life. It is comforting to know that our God and Father equips us with all we need to live a godly life, including lighting our path as we take one step at a time. Notice that the psalmist doesn't say that God's Word lights the path miles in front of us; he says that God's Word is a lamp unto our feet. May each one of us rejoice in the fact that God has committed the resources of heaven to guide us on our life's journey. He has not left us in the dark to fend for ourselves but has focused His Word like a huge beam of light at our feet to guide every step we take. *** Responsive Prayer: Father, thank you for lighting my path with your Word. Help me to always remember that I am never alone on this journey, for you have committed all the resources of heaven to lead and guide me in the way I should go. I pray that I will have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to me today. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. Read our other daily posts...
