Your word
is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (ESV)
I love the navigation system on my phone. I do
not have a mind for geography, so I use it to get many places, even close to
where I live. Recently, however, I did not understand why it was taking
me in a particular direction. So confident was I in this system based on
past, flawless experience, that I ignored my own thoughts and followed the
voice from my phone.
Has God ever steered you wrong? As you listen
to the stories of others, from antiquity to those of friends and family, have
you ever once known of God leading someone off track? Why, then, do we
ignore His voice in favor of our own?
David sang that the word of God was a lamp for his
feet and a light for his path. Which will you follow, the darkness of
flawed human reason or the brilliance of God's truth?
Lord, thank You for the guidance of Your word and
the understanding that comes from the Holy Spirit. May I follow You as
Jesus did. In His name I pray, amen.
