Light On My Path

Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path- Psalm 119:105

I’ve known this Scripture since my eight-year-old VBS days.  I didn’t really learn what it fully means until eight years later, when I became a Christian at the age of sixteen.  I finally understood that God’s word will actually guide you if you read it, listen to Him, and apply anything you learn from Him.  This was and still is amazing to me!  Plus, if you want to get really analytical about it, Jesus is the Word, so Jesus is the lamp for our feet and the light on our path (for a reference to Him as the Word and the Light, John 1 really focuses in on this.)

Unfortunately today, I learned that not everyone who has a relationship with Jesus Christ actually considers Jesus their lamp and Light, but instead turn to their phones for that.  Oh wait, maybe sports work better as that lamp and light.  Well, I guess music would work better…

What is happening?!

Jesus is supposed to be the center of our lives! Jesus is supposed to be who we rely on!   God has given us His Word to rely on!  What else do we need?!  What else could possibly guide us in our lives?!

The day that we stop letting God lead our lives is the day our world comes crashing down.  Honestly, we have to ask ourselves if that day is today.  Have we truly forgotten to trust completely in Christ, so much so that we allow worldly things to guide our lives?

I’m not writing this to preach at anyone, but instead to inform.  I want to inform you, the reader, that Jesus loves you, died on the cross for your sins, and if you confess with your mouth that He is Lord and believe in your heart, then you will be saved!  Furthermore, if you have already accepted Him, LET HIM LEAD YOUR LIFE!!

Your Brother in Christ,

Phillip
