A Lamp and a Light

Scripture- Psalm 119:105 (ESV) “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Devotional- The psalmist doesn’t say that God’s Word shows the whole road at once. It gives light for the next step. Scripture is not a floodlight for our curiosity but a lamp for our obedience. God’s Word meets us where we are and leads us faithfully, step by step, into His will.

We often want certainty about outcomes before we’re willing to obey. But Scripture forms us differently. It teaches us to walk by trust, not by sight, and to depend daily on the light God provides rather than demanding a map of the future.

Reflection- Where in your life are you asking God for clarity about the destination, when He may be offering light for the next step?

Prayer Direction- Ask God to help you trust His Word enough to obey what you already know, even when the next steps feel small or incomplete.
