Today’s Thought “Camping, Without A Tent” G. Ward

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

 

Imagine on today that you’re stranded in a forest environment and whereas you began that venture to find city lights before dark, darkness suddenly overwhelms you. Perhaps immediate thoughts establish how I should have grabbed a long branch of sorts becomes vivid, but you didn’t - so what was aggressive walking beforehand, becomes very short steps with arms extended, along with great fear of nocturnal reptiles, mountain lions and bears ahead captivates your soul(?). Moreover, it’s cool now and you’re needing a wrap that enables warmth(?). Altogether, this is indicative of what the Lord invites us to know about the dark world we reside in. It’s full of dangers (seen and unseen) and what appears to be light is just a mirage; for the shiny things are mere allusion that never satisfies. More than that, and for the believer, earth is not home; so, wherever we venture, it’s strange territory and if we come to our senses, we’ll know how our Lord provides HIS Light in us to discern the rightful path in such perilous times.

So, Lord God, we thank You for such a reminder – that regards You as our Only Blessed Hope in every matter of Life. May we allow the perfect spiritual illumination You provide to shine on others not fully surrendered to You; so, their pathway is made clear that insists apart from Christ we aren’t successful. May we say yes to Your guidance, through Jesus, Amen.
