There comes a time in your walk in faith when all that's left is just ......YOU and......GOD.
A time when your church is not there, when your friends can't intervene and your own understanding can't even try to make up a solution for your situation. A time when your creativity or your smart brains are useless tools for the things that matter the most. This is the time when all around you there seems to be darkness that nothing is able to lighten up...when the world seems to SHUT DOWN...
What do you do when in so much darkness?
Where do you turn to find light for your world?
David said:
"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light for my path."
(Psalm 119:105)
He understood that when his world was dark, only The Word from the Mouth of God could bring light to his darkness. He remembered that in the beginning of everything "God said 'LET THERE BE LIGHT' AND THERE WAS LIGHT (Gen1:3). God's word brought light even from the beginning....
IN THE BEGINNING GOD'S WORD BROUGHT LIGHT INTO BEING.
IN DAVID'S DAYS...GOD'S WORD BROUGHT LIGHT INTO HIS WORLD.
IN MY DARKEST DAYS...GOD'S WORD BRINGS LIGHT INTO MY LIFE.
"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light for my path."
I say the same...And I testify to that...because so many times...it's the Word OF God and the Word FROM God that brought light into my world when all seemed to shut down. So, if you see me today living life and going crazy about God...it's not that I want to be seen for more than what I am..I just wanna testify about the God whose Word kept me going when all seemed too hard to bear and too complicated to understand.
"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light for my path."
When there's a lamp down at your feet, you begin to see the little things that were obstacles on your way while you were in darkness...
When there's a light on your path...you see a bigger picture of where you are and where you are going.
So when days get dark...I just fall on my knees and say
"Lord, my world is closing in on me, and it's too dark to see a thing...GIVE ME YOUR WORD...SAY SOMETHING TO ME....for I KNOW THAT WHAT COMES FROM YOUR MOUTH GIVES LIFE...AND YOUR WORD BRINGS LIGHT INTO THE WORLD...Lord, I know that just ONE WORD from Your mouth will bring me light...so Speak Lord....I'm listening and I'm watching your Word bring light into my darkest situation..."
In the beginning, God said "Let there be light" and there was light...He still says that in our darkest moments...let's invite Him to command light to come right in the midst of darkness...
The Word of His mouth brings light...
His very Word is The Light.
"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light for my path."
-Psalm 119:105
