Psalm 119:105 (118:105 LXX)
Your word is a lamp to my feetAnd a light to my paths.
Encouraging Words...
Living in today's world of modern conveniences and infrastructure we loose the power of this verse. Everywhere I go I have light to show the way...street lights, ambient city lights, whatever. I bet there are some people who have never experienced total darkness or total silence. Being a camper and a traveler to third world countries I have been in paces that are totally black when the sun goes down. It is in places like these that this verse comes to light (pun intended). In this dark and fallen world only God's word, the written word, the spoken word from our Fathers and Mothers, the traditions, that we get the light that we need to see our feet and to keep them on His path. We (I) must go through this journey of life with a total dependence upon Him.
