“Your laws are wonderful. No wonder I obey them! The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand. I pant with expectation, longing for your commands. Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name. Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. Ransom me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments. Look upon me with love; teach me your decrees. Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions.” (Psalm 119:129-136)
Have you ever had an “Ah-Ha!” moment? A moment where you suddenly found revelation in something that was happening to you? Maybe a moment of clarity or a glimpse of the truth? For me, the Word of God has provided many of those moments. I can remember many times that I have been reading the Word and it was almost as if someone had flicked a switch, the light was on and now I could see what I should be doing and what I had done. God’s Word provides light in the darkness, but it also helps to guide our very steps, if we choose to listen and follow it. The Word is full of instructions on how to live and how to deal with a whole gamut of things that could happen in life. It is up to us to pay attention and to see what it is saying. God has provided his Word that acts very much like a lamp, and a GPS. It shows us a clear path through the dark, windy, twisty, paths that lay out before us. It helps us navigate our way through life and helps to keep us away from danger. It is extremely valuable! How valuable is it to you?
