Tuesday 8 Don’t Stumble

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Have you ever been walking through the house at night and stumbled over something you didn’t see. I know it has happened to all of us. God doesn’t want us to stumble in fact, he wants our path to be filled with light, so we don’t make a misstep. Walking in the light, we can see where we are going, we can be aware of snares of the enemy, and we can see the specific twists and turns in the road that we need to take so that we can make it to our destination. Without the light, we are helpless and hopeless, but the light has dawned for us, and for the Christian, the light gets brighter and brighter as we live in the light of God’s Word. Each of us also needs specific direction, and most of us don’t have a book of the Bible with our name on it (unless your name is Matt, Mark, Luke or John!!!) but we do have the promise that God will lead and direct us. We do need to believe that God does want to speak to us. He does that through His word, but he speaks to us in our spirit as well. We need to be listening to His still small voice, and be open and receptive to his leading. We can’t do life without God. We are too inexperienced to try to make it through life without God’s guidance. His word is the guide that we need. Aren’t you grateful for His Word in your life? Let’s make it our goal to include more and more of God’s Word in our lives, to keep in our lips, and to hide it in our heart.
