Psalm 119:105-112
A screech and a howl pierced the still night air as I sat alone writing. I set the computer aside and moved quickly to the back window that looks into the woods. It may have been two cats having a conversation or two raccoons squabbling over food. What ever it was quit. I briefly considered going outside but was unsure where the flashlight was. Without the flashlight I could easily slip going down the steps or stumble over an unknown fallen tree branch. In Psalm 119 we see that God’s Word is like a lamp that lights the way for where we walk (105). Like a flashlight God’s Word is a personal guide that keeps us (106), revives us (107) and teaches us (108). God’s Word is a practical guide that is useful in all of life (109-110) and a permanent guide as it brings joy to the heart (111-112). I could have walked out without being able to see where I was going or see what was in my pathway. More than likely it would have ended up with me tripping or stubbing my foot. I would have been hollering and the animals would have been laughing. In walking through life we need God’s Word to light our way. Each day ask God to use the Bible verses you read to keep you from stumbling spiritually.
