Lamp Unto My Feet

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” - Psalm 119.105

Someone has well said,

“Apart from being immersed in God’s Word, no one can move on to maturity in the Christian life.  But when a Christian so saturates himself in the Bible that in any situation an applicable verse of Scripture immediately comes to mind, then there is evidence of growth.  It is good to place ourselves under the qualified teaching of God's Word in a church, but that is not the final key to maturity. The key is to study the Bible for yourself, digest it for yourself, assimilate it for yourself, apply it for yourself. Then it becomes your own.

Many of the best sermon-listeners and sermon-tasters

you've ever known are still spiritual babies.

That's because it is not until we get into the Scriptures for ourselves that we get into the meat that produces spiritual development.”

Psalm 119:130 tells us about the Bible, “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”

May we enjoy meditating (“chewing the cud” ) on what the Bible says to us!

Run with patience,
