Light And Direction
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto
my path (Psalm 119:105).
No one who knows and lives by God’s Word
ever gets confused in life; the Word gives
you light and direction. If you have the Word of God
in you, you know where you’re going; your life has a
meaning; your journey is forward and upward only,
because God’s Word is a lamp that brightens your
path, and a light that directs you.
Psalm 119:130 says, “The entrance of thy words
giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
David was saying this to God. No wonder he was
so guided and led of God; he was an extraordinary
success. During his reign as king over Israel, Israel
never lost a battle except the one he wasn’t involved
in. David knew how to consult with God and receive
light and direction from the Spirit.
Don’t play the guessing game with your life;
receive light and direction from the Lord, through His
Word. Open your spirit to the Word. Meditate on the
Holy Scriptures; that way, the Word will mingle with
your spirit, giving you light. If the Word of God doesn’t
enter into you, there’ll be no light in your spirit. Those
who don’t have accurate knowledge of the Word
of God can only plunge themselves into perpetual
darkness.
The Bible describes the Word as “…the true Light,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world”
(John 1:9). Without the Word of God, your decisions
will be made in darkness, and the decisions that are
made in darkness can only produce more darkness,
making the person’s life a labyrinth of uncertainties,
confusion, and utter frustration.
God has given you His Word to light up your
path, and have light through the darkness. Jesus said,
“…I am the light of the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light
of life” (John 8:12). Under that light, you don’t see
shadows. Poverty, sickness, disease, death, failure or
impossibilities are shadows; they don’t exist under the
light of God.
Prayer
The Word of God is in my heart; therefore, my heart is flooded
with light; my path is continually lit. I walk in preordained
pathways; therefore, none of my steps shall slide, neither do
I walk in confusion, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
