Promises For God's Guidance - Your Word Is A Lamp (Daily Devotional)

Greetings and it’s our joy to be able to come to you today and spend these few moments in God’s word and prayer. This week, we are reflecting on God’s promises for guidance, where God has promised us to teach us, instruct us, lead us and guide us in the decisions that we need to make in life.

Today, we are going to read Psalm chapter 119, verses 103 to 105 and also verse 130, these verses say, ‘How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore, I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple’. The psalmist here recognizes that God is going to guide us and He is going to teach us and give us understanding, light our path and direct our path through His word. So, we recognize that God has promised to guide us and teach us but that guidance comes to us through His word. So, as we seek God for His guidance, one of the things that we have to do is to read His word- the bible and it is so amazing that whatever passage or whatever chapter in the bible we maybe reading that particular day, the Holy Spirit has just an amazing way to be able to take that chapter or that passage that we’re reading and speak to us directly into the situations and circumstances that we may be facing at that moment in out life. So, God can do that, all we have to do is to be faithful, to go to His word and say, Lord, it is your word which I love and your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path and as I read my bible, I’m expecting you to speak to me, give me understanding like the psalmist says, I’m expecting you to shine your light upon my path so that I will learn the way I should take and God will do that for us. We receive His guidance through His word and He has promised to do that for us. Let us be faithful in reading the scriptures and letting God guide us through His word.

Let’s pray, Father, we thank you that your word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Thank you that as your word enters us, it gives us light and teaches us in the way in which we should go, it shows us the right path for us to take. Thank you for guiding us through your word, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
