“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).

We live in a world of darkness, and “he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going” (John 12:35). Without light we would be utterly lost and without hope. However, just as light shining in a dark room reveals a clear path, so God’s word reveals the path of righteousness in this dark world of sin. Jesus tells us, “While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light” (John 12:36).

We should continually seek His word. It should be our delight, and we should continually meditate upon it (cf. Psalm 1:2). If we allow ourselves to be enlightened by God’s word, we will be ready for the coming of our Lord (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10). Praise God for His wonderful gift of light!
