Light for My Path

Verse of the day: Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

There are many different lamps, made for different uses, and situations; flashlights, car headlights, tabletop lamps, etc. Our Bible is a lamp for all occasions, and purposes. Unlike man-made lamps, its light never dims, its batteries never weaken, and its light always shines. However, like any good functioning lamp, it is of no use to us if we fail to activate its light. The light of God's Word is available to all. It is available to light our path so that we can see which way to go, and warn us of what is ahead. It iluminates where we are, so that we can know how to maneuver. It lights each step, so that our feet do not stumble. When others try to cause us to trip, we can see the trap, and step over or go around. When we find ourselves in the midst of a dark circumstance, the light of God's Word comforts us, and give us confidence, and reassurance. The bottom line is that our Bible lights the way for God's children, as we move closer to our final destination...Heaven. Let us not neglect the light God has provided for us. The Holy Spirit in us helps us know how to effectively use the lamp God has given us, and helps us to stay on the path that its light iluminates for us. The born again child of God will never lose his/her way if he/she keeps the lamp & light of God's Word lit, and uses it with every step they take.
