A Light for My Path

Good Morning,

Been a little ill the last couple of days. Please remember me in your prayers. Nothing major, just some kind of cold or flu or something. But, yes, it's miserable!

Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.

Of all the great reasons to read the Bible I think that what is said in this verse ranks up there pretty high.

I don't know about everyone of course, but from time to time I find myself sort of blundering along in the dark. Not a real, physical darkness, but a darkness of the mind and even of the heart. At those times I seem sort of lost and can't find my way. I stumble about and don't know where to next put my feet. Now, I don't think that I'm alone in this. I believe that there are many of us, otherwise good Christians, who find ourselves in the dark on occasion. It's probably pretty normal for most of us. Well, I find it fairly normal anyway. You know, just not knowing where to turn or what path to take because nothing seems clear and everything seems to be in some kind of darkness all around.

The good news, of course, is that we have a simple and quick way to light this darkness we find ourselves in. It's as easy as picking up a Bible and allowing God to light the way by what He has had placed there for us. God's words to us are the light that David wrote of in this short, simple, clear verse of Scripture. God gives us His light through His words. God's Holy Bible is, truly, the lamp we need to see what path we ought to take when it seems all around us is in darkness.

Yes, there are many, many reasons we ought to read the Bible.

Lighting the darkness around us is not the least of them!

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
