majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 119:105-106,
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. I have taken
an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws."
The psalmist speaks in these verses of his commitment to the
Scriptures, "Your word", "your righteous laws". He says why he does
so: it is "a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
Life is fraught with life-changing decisions that we are faced with
every day. At times it can be perplexing to know which choice to make.
Add to that our proclivity to sin, to be distracted by our own
deceitful hearts, and we find we need something in life to cling to as
a faithful guide, our psalmist's "lamp". We read in Jeremiah 17:9,
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can
understand it?"
How wonderful the Lord has provided us the Scriptures that function as
that "light for my path." A financial company has a commercial message
these days that purports to provide its clients direction regarding
financial decisions. "Just stay on the green path" is the closing
comment in the dialog. We only thing we need in this life for "a lamp
to my feet" is the word of God!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
