John 10:27
Let there be light! Have you ever woken up in the wee hours of the night, compliments of a full bladder? Ugh. The last thing I want to do when that happens is unwrap myself from my warm cucoon of a bed and stumble around in the dark, just to stub my toe as I scramble for the bathroom light switch. Wouldn’t it be so much more convenient to have an “easy” button that somehow took care of that situation in the middle of the night for you? Your toes could be spared and you wouldn’t have to try to recreate the perfect sleeping position after doing your business. I know it’s far-fetched, but it would be nice.
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re stumbling around in spiritual darkness? Go with me on this. You’ve made the decision; you’ve shown your commitment; you know the routines; but for some reason, you still seem to wobble your way through life, arms stretched out in front of you. Knowing God’s Word is liking flipping on the light switch. It may take a little bit to get in the groove and flip the switch completely, but once it’s flipped, your life is illuminated completely.
Read: Check out Psalm 119:97-105. Reread verse 105 and spend some time focusing on it. How does God’s Word light up our path? Pray: Ask God to help you flip on the light switch. Ask Him for a hunger and thirst for His Word. Tell Him how thankful you are that you don’t have to stumble and stagger through life in the dark, thanks to Him. Ask for His help in knowing His Word.
Do: Dig deeper. Read all of Psalm 119, jotting down anything that talks about an effect of God’s Word in our lives.
