Psalm 119:105 (HCSB)
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.
Observation:
The lyrics of an old hymn of the church comes to mind as I meditate on our topic and text for today.
“More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.”
When we walk in the pathway that Jesus leads His children we realize that it is a pathway that is filled with light. We are able to distinguish between our will, and God’s will.
As we walk with Jesus it is important for us to read on a daily basis the Word of God; we need to hear what God has to say to us from His Word.
Proverbs 6:23 (HCSB)
23 For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective discipline is the way to life.
The Word of God deposited in our heart is the best investment we can make of the use of our time and talent.
Psalm 119:11 (HCSB)
11 I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
Psalm 119:18 (HCSB)
18 Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wonderful things from Your instruction.
Psalm 119:48 (HCSB)
48 I will lift up my hands to Your commands, which I love, and will meditate on Your statutes.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. I am so grateful for the Word of God, that we have it in a language that we can read and understand.
Father, I thank You that the Word of God is a lamp and light for Your people to be able to discern Your will, and Your ways. Father, I ask that You turn, and tune the hearts of Your people to be people of the Word, the will, and the ways of our heavenly Father. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
