Practical Applications
of God’s Word
Part 5 – Light & Guidance
“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path … The entrance of Thy words giveth light”
(Psalm 119:105, 130).
We live in a dark world, both morally and spiritually. If we are going to have light for our Christian walk through such a dark world, it must be the light of God’s Word. The above verses show that the Word of God, when acted on in faith, gives light for one step at a time. It is like the flashlight or lantern. It only shines a few feet ahead of the traveler, but as long as the person holds on to it and keeps walking there will be light provided for the whole trek, even though it may be many miles and all night long.
Read the Word of God every day. Act on its light and instruction. And remember what the prophet Jeremiah said: “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23). Do we think that we can go through life without light and guidance from the One who made us? David said, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way” (Psalm 37:23).
