"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." -Psalm 119:105 (KJV)
My three-year-old daughter recently got a new flashlight. While she found the light enjoyable and entertaining during the day, she couldn't wait for the excitement of using the flashlight outside in the dark. Once night arrived, she put on her boots and was ready to head into the yard with her trusty new flashlight leading the way. In her excitement, she found her way from the door to the yard, with the neighbors well aware of her presence!
The Psalmist reminded me of my daughter's adventures with her flashlight. Just as my daughter found joy in the flashlight lighting her path into the yard, we should find joy in the guidance of the light shown by God's word. We should exhibit an excitement in exploring the Word and it's meaning for each of our lives.
Beyond relying on the light of God's word to help us find our way, we should be so excited that our neighbors are aware of our light as well! We should allow the lamp of God's word to light the path of our neighbor. We should be willing to share the excitement of God's salvation with all those around us!
Take out the flashlight of God's word. Let it light your path...and share it's light with your neighbors!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your word. Help me to study Your word and learn from it so that it can be a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. Help me to share the light of Your word with my neighbors. Through Jesus, the light of the world, I pray, amen.
