Bible Verse 5
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105 NIV
Why Is This Verse Famous?
This verse is a favorite because it shows how God’s Word (the Bible) helps guide us through life. It’s often quoted by people who want encouragement to trust God in making decisions.
A Short Explanation of the Verse
When the writer of Psalm 119 said “Your word,” he was most likely talking about the Scriptures available at the time, what we now call the Old Testament. Those writings included God’s law, His promises, and stories of how He guided His people. For this psalmist, God’s Word was both a reminder of who God is and a guide for how to live.
Today, when we read this verse, we also think of the whole Bible, which points us to Jesus.
The picture of a lamp and a light reminds us that God does not always show us the whole road ahead, but He gives enough light for the next step.
Many of us want control. We want to know every detail of the path. But this verse invites us to rest in the truth that God’s plan is good, even when we cannot see the ending.
What Could This Verse Mean for You?
In a world with what seems like millions of opinions, you can lean on the one real truth, God’s truth. One of the best ways to get to know Jesus better is to get to know God’s Word.
