“Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.”
– Psalm 119:105
We live in a confusing and ever-shifting world. World events and cultural currents change more rapidly than ever before. Planning more than a few steps in advance has become a frustrating impossibility. It’s easy for even the most ardent lover of God to stumble and fall spiritually, mentally, and emotionally as he or she walks this road of life.
There is, however, one sure and certain way to remain on God’s path and know how and where to take your next step. God’s Word, the Bible, is a true and unchanging guide for your walk and your ways. God’s Word is the light that reveals how to think, speak, and act in a manner that glorifies God no matter what’s happening around you.
It isn’t enough to simply like the Word (in a social media sense). To gain the illumination of the Word, you must be in the Word yourself. You need more than a single verse and a brief devotional each day. You must be reading (or hearing) paragraphs, chapters, and pages You must be immersing yourself in the Bible daily and letting God’s Spirit use His Word to anchor your heart, mind, and soul to His path.
Get in the Word, stay in the Word, meditate on the Word, pray through the Word. Make the Word the lamp for your feet and the light for your path through this very dark and confusing world!
