“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” – Psalm 119:05 NIV

Sometimes we get lost along the way. We lose sight of the real light. Maybe we get distracted with the fireflies or the sounds of the night? We end up walking around without the real light. Then, we start stumbling around in the dark. We may even fall down and crash into those around us; not only hurting ourselves, but also those around us. Anyone (even “strong” people) can fall down, if they lose focus of the path before them and can not see where they are walking. From reading the above verse, we know that the only real light for our path is God’s word. If we fail to read His word daily, we won’t have the light we need for each day. We are sure to fall down and lose our way along the path. Yet, we can’t expect to see any farther than today. God only gives us enough light for each day. He doesn’t let the light shine farther than the barriers of today. Why? Because He doesn’t want us to become overwhelmed by what lies ahead. Why should we be worried about tomorrow? God already knows what is there and preparing the way. But, we need to make sure we have just enough light for today’s steps.

Dear Lord Jesus, please help us to keep our eyes focused on You and Your word. May we commit to reading Your word and communicating with You daily. Amen.
