PROMISE #127 - MAY 7

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ~Psalm 119:105

Have you ever attempted to walk a forest trail in the middle of the night without a flashlight? If you do, and there is no full moon shining, it can be pretty difficult to find your way around. Without light to guide you, you will stray from the path and at least meet a tree.

The psalmist is saying the same thing in today’s promise about the importance of God’s Word for you and me. In the big scheme, we are just little boys and girls who need all the help we can get. We have no navigational tools to steer our lives. We need the written Word of God and the timely spoken Word of God to guide us through this life.

What a comfort to know that our God and Father provides us with all we need to live a godly life, including lighting our way as we take it one step at a time. Notice the psalmist doesn’t say God’s Word lights the path miles ahead of us; he says God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet.

Let us all be glad that God has pledged 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, guides our every step.

Prayer:

Thank You, Father, for guiding me with Your word. Help me to remember at all times that I am never alone on this journey because You have dedicated all the resources of heaven to lead me and guide me in the way I should go. I pray that I will be able to see and hear what the Spirit is saying to me today.

Amen. I pray in Jesus' name.
