Greetings in the name of our Mighty
Lord,
My son, Hormone, has a way of making me
feel slightly disorganized because every once in a while he will make certain
comments like, "Yah yah...I know you have a picture of me as a kid with my
best friend dressed in camouflage at his spend the night party when we were 10,
but I haven't seen that picture in 15 years..."
Hormone can shut it because I recently
started organizing all the pictures I took before the digital age! Not only did
I find that precious picture and text it to him IMMEDIATELY, but I also came
across the first picture I ever took of me and my family's feet -- just our
feet. Miss Rayray was two months old,
and Hormone was three. Who doesn't love
little baby stinky feet? And the very
first thing I thought of when I saw this pic was not that I should have found
the time for a pedicure even if was the frazzled mother of two, but rather a
verse in the Bible that has proven true in the 25+ years since that picture was
taken.
Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to guide my
feet and a light for my path."
God's
Word shines brightly into our lives when we let it. When we open its pages and avail ourselves of
all it has to offer, we will head in the right direction. When we pray it over our children they will
get back on the right track. When we guard it in our hearts it helps us make
wise decisions. Reading it will lift our
spirits and nourish our souls.
When
I opened the dark dank closet where all my pictures were stored in boxes, I
dared not do so without a flashlight.
Last time I did that a nice dead humongous three-inch Godzilla lizard was waiting for me in the shadows. LESSON LEARNED.
Likewise, we all need a good light to see where
to direct our feet.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, Thank You for Your Word that guides us, teaches us, keeps us on blessed
paths, and revitalizes us when we are weary.
Give us a hunger and thirst for Your Word so that we will always travel
a well-lit path. In Jesus' name, AMEN

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet...
