How To Seek God's Light!
"Your word is a lamp to my
feet and a light to my path."
Psalm 119: 105
Back before we had GPS-enabled maps on our
phones and in our cars, people navigated using
paper maps. Road maps were challenging since
interior lights in cars were rarely bright enough
to make map reading easy.
Light is a critical ingredient navigating on the road
or life. When we encounter dead-ends,
roadblocks,
detours, or other challenges traveling through life,
we need the brightest light possible: Jesus Christ,
the Light of the World, and His Word.
When seeking guidance and direction, we must
go first to God in
prayer—and then to His Word.
The psalmist declared God’s Word to be a lamp
to his feet and a light to his path.
In that day, tiny oil lamps would only light
a path for a short distance. We must trust
God to
light our next steps, not the entire
journey at once.
Trust the God who is Light and
His
Word if you are in need of direction
(2 Timothy 3:16).
"No darkness we have who
in Jesus abide; the light
of the world is Jesus!"
