Good News #216: Jesus and His Word – the Lamp to My Feet and the Light to My Path!
When Adam fell, darkness crept in to the world so that instead of mankind enlarging their territory by subduing the earth, it went the other way around… darkness encroached the world.
The prophet Isaiah warns us that this darkness will continue on and that even deep darkness will be upon the people.
Isaiah 60:2a says:
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people.
This is obviously not physical darkness because God had ordained for the sun and moon to continue on. This is spiritual darkness where the truths of God will get twisted… where society becomes perilous… where people will even experience internal turmoil, depression, mental health issues, etc.
There is much in this world that will cause us to stumble and fall flat on our faces.
But God did not leave us without help. He gave us His word… His wisdom… His guidance… so that while there may be many things that cause stumbling, we will have a way of avoiding those… and that while darkness covers the earth and deep darkness the people, we have a lamp and a light to guide us every step of the way.
The gospel is this — The Word of God became flesh and it is He who is also The Light of the World.
In The Light and with The Light of His Son Jesus, one never has to grope in darkness stumbling here and there.
Let His word guide you.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
Psalm 119:105
And a light to my path.
