A Well-lighted Pathway

 

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

—Psalm 119:105

In the "“darkness” of this sin-filled world, we who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ need a strong lamp to illuminate our pathway.

God has graciously provided such a lamp through His written Word, the Bible. That is why we should spend time each day reading our Bibles.

Please carefully read these words that follow and notice the recognition the Psalmist gives to God’s Word as a powerful force in his life. The Psalmist recorded them in Psalm 119:105-112:

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much; preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.

The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts. Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.

Please join me this day in setting aside some quiet time to read the Bible and consider the message God has placed there for you and me this day. Surely God’s Word will brightly illuminate our path.
