A LAMP UNTO MY FEET

 

A LAMP UNTO MY FEET

 

Psalm 119:105-112 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 

 

  When we lived in the country there were no street lights as there are in town, so on nights there was no moon, it was dark!

  But even when I was up at night tending to the babies or answering the phone, I had no trouble finding my way in the dark because I knew where everything was.

  I find this true of my walk with Christ. Because I have His Word in my heart He lights my life-path so I don’t stumble.

  May I always keep my heart turned to Him, “even unto the end.”
