Your word is a lamp to my foot, and a light to my roadway.—Ps. 119:105.
There are many situations in which God’s utterances can be like a lamp to our foot. For example, an unemployed Christian may be offered a sorely needed job. However, the schedule is demanding, and if he accepts the job, he will be absent for a number of Christian meetings and will miss out on other activities related to true worship. (Ps. 37:25) Another Christian may be strongly tempted to view entertainment that clearly violates Bible principles. (Eph. 4:17-19) Still another might be prone to take offense at the imperfections of fellow believers. (Col. 3:13) In all such situations, we should let God’s Word be a lamp to our foot. Really, by following Bible principles, we can successfully face any challenge in life. God’s Word is “beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness.”—2 Tim. 3:16. w07 5/1 1:11 |
