Psalm 119:105-112
We have a heavy-duty flashlight to light up each day of the coming year. It’s God’s Word, a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. When our way is especially dark, it’s a floodlight. When we need God’s comforting presence, it’s a lamp on the table. When we have a dreary day, it’s our sunshine. When we need guidance, it’s a beacon. When we need courage, it’s a torch. When we share it with others, it’s a lighthouse. When we spend time with it, we ourselves become radiant.
Proverbs 6:23 says, “For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light.”
Just as the Israelites gathered manna each day, we need the nourishment of the daily bread of the soul. What a privilege to have the very words of God Himself spread out before us in a book small enough to hold in our hands. From its 31,102 verses, you’ll find illumination for every moment of the new year. Don’t miss a day—and start today by thanking God for the joy of walking in the light of His Word.
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, what a glory He sheds on our way!
John H. Sammis
