“Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105

Have you ever tried to walk on a mountain trail or follow a farm path in the pitch darkness of night? Without light, such a trek causes one to stumble, fall and become hopelessly lost in night’s darkness.

Sad to say, this world is a dark place. People are born in spiritual darkness and don’t know the way of life. They can’t see the many stumbling stones and pitfalls as they wander through life in the blackness of spiritual night. Instead of finding their way to life, they die in darkness and on the pathway to everlasting darkness.

God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. It reveals to us the error of our sinful ways and shows us the path of life - the way of forgiveness and life eternal in Christ Jesus and for the sake of His holy life and innocent sufferings and death in our stead.

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me” (John 14:6). Jesus’ words are Spirit and they are life (John 6:63); the Spirit uses the Word to wake us up from spiritual darkness and death and give us light and life in Messiah Jesus.

Instead of groping through life in darkness, let the Word give you light and life in Jesus!

Thank You, O LORD, for the light of Your Word. Move me to read and study its pages, to hear it and meditate upon it, that it may be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
