The follow was inspired by RC Sproul.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path (Psalm 119:105).
God’s Word (the Bible) keeps us from crashing off the path God has intended, which always results in us flat on our faces. It is of critical importance as to whether we find our being on our faces as a time to reflect on what got us there. If you have ever tried to walk in unfamiliar territory in the dark, you know how dangerous (and potentially shin bruising) that can be.
Having a working flashlight keeps us safely on the path. God’s Word is exactly that – intended to keep us on the path He intended for us. Without our flashlight we are sure to get lost and in trouble.
But unlike a flashlight, God’s Word gets more powerful with use. It is up to us to decide how bright we want our light to shine, and the source of our light is God. Do we want to be a small ember of faith, barely enough to singe the fingers of the world, or do we want to be an enormous blaze, that the world cannot help but see? Each of us who have saving faith start as an ember, and it is up to us to tend that ember and make it glow.
Are you using your flashlight? Can others see your glow?
