A Light to My Path

“Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105

Why is it that we who have had our hearts and minds opened to the truth still seemingly walk in darkness? Often it is because we fail to understand that we must continue in the same light of revelation that first brought us to an awareness of our sin and God’s redemptive plan.

That light is this: simple faith in the Word of God. When we believed what the Scriptures said about our need for the Savior, we were saved.

The same principle applies to every facet of our new life in Christ. The Word of God illumines our earthly journey. We must discover what God’s Word says about our family roles, our finances, our business ethics, our sexuality, our emotions.

Then we must matter-of-factly accept it as truth and apply it diligently. As we do, we find ourselves consistently walking in the light of His revelation.

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him....that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” Ephesians 1:17-18
