Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
— Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
So often, those of us who have received the blessings of faith and the guidelines of the Word of God don't fully appreciate them. Can you imagine what it is like to try to define one's worth, clarify one's values, and establish one's sense of purpose without a standard of truth? Imagine what it would be like to be lost without a map and without a compass? Remember what it was like to wake up in an unfamiliar place as a child in the pitch black darkness totally disoriented? We don't have to worry about that now, do we? God's Word -- both Scripture and His Son -- light our dark paths and show us the way home!
My Prayer...
O LORD, my Abba Father, thank you for not leaving me in darkness. Your Word lights my path and your Son, the Light of the World, lights my life. Thank you for not leaving me alone to find my way. In Jesus' name. Amen.
— Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
