Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and I will confirm it, that I will keep Your righteous ordinances. I am exceedingly afflicted; revive me, O Lord, according to Your word. O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your ordinances. My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not gone astray from Your precepts. I have inherited Your testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes forever, even to the end.
Search the Scriptures!
When you don’t know what to do, which way to go, which opportunity to say ‘yes’ to—that’s when you need to ask God for guidance and search the Scriptures. In this passage God is showing us the experience of a man who has learned to walk with Him. That man is telling us that God’s word has been a lamp to his feet and light to his path.
Listen to what he is telling you! Get on your knees, with your Bible open in front of you, and ask God to give you scriptural insight into your situation. He loves to speak through His word into your life.
