Psalms 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path..
Years ago, I had the opportunity to go down into a mine shaft that was quite deep. We took some very bright lights to find our way down into the inner part of this mine. We reached a point where there was no longer any light coming from the entrance of the shaft. We turned off all our lights. Surrounded by pitch darkness, you could not even see your hand before your face. You become completely disoriented and lose all sense of direction. I felt completely lost and had no idea which direction to go. Then we turned on the lights and headed back to the entrance. It was a great feeling to have that light to lead us, and to eventually see light coming from the entrance of that mine.
God’s Word has so many benefits to our life, and here in the above verse we find more truth of how it can help us in this life we are living. God’s Word is a lamp to walk by, and it will illuminate the path we are to focus on ahead of us. Like the lights we were carrying in that mine shaft, they made it possible for us to navigate each step we were taking going through that darkness. God’s Word will help you each and every day, giving you the daily steps to take as you are walking through this dark world.
Not only will it help you with every step you are to take, but it will also illuminate to you the very future of what God has for you ahead as you learn of all He has already planned for your life. This is another reason why living in God’s Word is so important living in this world filled with darkness. With God’s Word you will not become disoriented, nor be overtaken by the darkness. Darkness is nothing more than the absence of light. Live in God’s Word and you can walk in the light and walk free from darkness.
