A Light for My Path, January 1
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105
.
We all need a guide through the many strait places in life as much
as the sailor needs a pilot over the sandy bar or up the rocky river, and
where is this guide to be found? We point you ... to the Bible.
God, has given us His Word as a lamp to our feet and a light to
our path. Its teachings have a vital bearing on our prosperity in all the
relations of life....
The Bible is the great standard of right and wrong, clearly defining
sin and holiness. Its living principles, running through our lives like
threads of gold, are our only safeguard in trial and temptation. The Bible
is a chart, showing us the waymarks of truth. Those who are acquainted
with this chart will be enabled to tread with certainty in the path of duty,
wherever they may be called to go.
When faith in God’s Word is lost, the soul has no guide, no safeguard.
The youth are drawn into paths which lead away from God and from
everlasting life.
To this cause may in great degree be attributed the widespread
iniquity in our world today. When the Word of God is set aside, its
power to restrain the evil passions of the natural heart is rejected.
When God’s Word is made the man of our counsel, when we search
the Scriptures for light, heavenly angels come near to impress the mind
and to enlighten the understanding, so that it can be truly said, “The
entrance of thy words giveth light....”
Psalm 119:130
.
The Word of God is light and truth.... It is able to guide every step
of the way to the city of God.
