Good morning, happy Tuesday,

-We Need The Light Of God’s Word In This Dark World-

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Today’s verse is one of the best known and most beloved for Christians young and old. We all walk in this world of darkness and we need the light of God’s Word to guide and direct our paths. The Lord leads us one day at time and shines His light right on the path we taking today.

We have some many great lights today like LED lights, but none of them fulfill the analogy of a hand-held lamp that gives us enough light to move forward on our journey today. God wants us to walk in the light and do what is right in His sight.

As believers in Jesus Christ we are children of light, walking in the light, and trusting the Lord for each step. We are often in such a hurry and want to know what He has for our future, instead of taking it one day at a time and one step at a time.

The hymn writer John Burton wrote “Holy Bible, book divine, precious treasure thou art mine; mine to tell me whence I came; mine to teach me where I am. Mine to chide me when I rove; mine to show a Savior’s love; mine thou art to guide and guard; mine to punish or reward. Mine to comfort in distress, suffering in this wilderness; mine to show, by living faith; man can triumph over death. Mine to tell of joys to come, and the rebel sinner’s doom; O thou holy book divine, precious treasure, thou art mine.”

We urgently need the light of God’s Word to lead and show us the way today. All is dark around us, there are many voices saying to walk this way. We must follow Christ alone and walk in His light. He will lead us in His way every day. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’”

May we listen to God’s voice speaking to us and guiding us along the path of life: we can never go wrong.

Have a blessed day walking in the light, by the light, and with light. Stay safe and healthy.
