No matter how well we might know a road, a path, or a route somewhere, trying to find our way in complete darkness is never ideal. No matter how familiar it might be, without light, it’s a challenge. 

The writer of this Psalm describes God’s Word as a lamp and a light for our path. Meaning, it shows us what’s ahead. With the help of God’s Word, we can see where we are headed and what’s coming. We don’t have to live in the dark, and we don’t need to guess what’s ahead. The Bible shows us if we are headed in the right direction or if we have to adjust our course. 

Today, ask God to show you, through reading His Word, what He wants to shine a light on in your life or where He wants to guide you.
