I cannot exactly remember who I received this teaching from…so please forgive. However, I am prompted to bring a reminder from this well-worn and beloved Bible passage:
“Your word is a lamp to my feet,
And a light to my path.”
Psalm 119:105
If you ask me, we are always in need of…His touch…His guidance…His light. Don’t you agree?
The great promise from His Word, is that He promises all the guidance we need…one foot fall at a time and the great treasure of knowing that…each foot fall we purpose to take in Him (we do have a choice not to!) is one step in front of the other on the long-range path of our lives.
Jesus’ light is right here, right now for what we face in this moment and yet, He gives glimpses of our destiny in Him. Trouble is…we want to jump from Point A…to…let’s say…Point Q (let alone Point Z!) missing out on all of the light-guided steps in between! We may try to hurry the path, jump the path, skip the path…to what avail? Missing the glory of the power of the Holy Spirit and hearing His voice…every single day or our lives!
All this to say…it may be time to turn “the light on.” Spend some time in His presence today, drinking up His living, written Word and basking in His presence. And, though I’m not perfect by a long shot in this…let me tell you…the mundane will become extraordinary, the routine will become wonder-filled, and His light will dazzle your eyes...and illuminate your steps.
