GOD’S WORD IS MY LAMP
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24
Psalm 119:105
2 Peter 1:19-21
“…a light that shineth in a
dark place, until the day dawn, and
the day star arise in your hearts.”
GOD’S WORD IS MY LAMP
We are living in a very dark and sinful world, a world that is under the dominion of Satan. Especially, in these last days, the archenemy of God is working double time to put out the light of the Gospel of Christ. Today, we need the Word of God as a lamp unto our feet more than ever before.
Unto my feet: In times of war, when the city gates are shut, the people inside the city would need to go through a dark tunnel in order to get water from outside the city. They need to carry their lamps with them. When they return carrying the jars full of water, their hands would be full and they would not be able to hold their lamps. Thus they would bind their lamps to their feet to light the way. The feet can then take the steps safely and surely with the light.
Unto my path: So, with the Word of God, the psalmist sees it as the lamp that will give light to his feet in a very dark and lonely path. Without the light, it is impossible to tread the dark path. He will stumble and fall and not reach his destination. The path is not only dark, but narrow too. Without the light, he cannot move on, and the work is jeopardised.
The Word of God is a necessary lamp unto the believer’s feet. There is not one who is traversing his way to heaven who does not need this lamp. God’s Word will be his guide every step of the way. The light of God’s Word is essential in the believer’s life. Without the light, you can easily be taken in by spiritual scammers who will adversely affect your testimony. You will be fed poisonous and harmful doctrines which you cannot discern without the light of God’s Word.
Dear reader, take the Word of God as the lamp unto your feet to give light unto your path. Remember, we are living in a very dark age where there are many dangers around. Do not risk your Christian testimony by walking without the Word of God.
THOUGHT: Do I always consider the Word of God as a lamp unto my feet?
PRAYER: Father, help me to realise that I am walking in a very dark world under the dominion of the enemy, and that I need Thy Word to be my light.
