Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Navigating through life is not easy to do. Everyday you make hundreds of little decisions about where to go and what to do. Decisions about how to react to things that happen to you, decisions about how to treat others, decisions between doing what is right and doing what is wrong.
The world we live in today tells us to do whatever makes us happy. If you can make more money or it feels good, you should do it! If someone else gets hurt in the process, well that is unfortunate for them. It seems like the world’s moral compass is broken.
So, do not look to the world for guidance. Turn to God. Psalm 119:105 says that God’s word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. When the world says, “Do it”, what does God’s word say? Check for yourself. Study the Bible. When you spend time with God’s word, you will be able to see clearly and stay on the right path.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your precious word and for lighting the path that you want me to follow. Amen.
