Psalm 119:105(KJV)
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The passage above highlights the significance of God’s Word in guiding everyday living. Living by the Word of God ensures that one is never in darkness, giving light to anyone who follows it. The Word of God is a tool for directing our paths and illuminating how we should go. Without the light of God’s Word, one is prone to stumble and fall. The Bible, the Word of God, acts as a roadmap for believers, much like how a compass guides a ship in the right direction. The Gospel serves as a shining light, illuminating the path of the righteous who have vowed to follow the Word of God. The Word consistently reorders our priorities and scrutinizes our motives, ensuring we remain on the right path and avoid harmful and sinful behaviors. The Word is the mechanism through which God ensures our salvation and sustains it. 2 Peter 1:19 says, “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” Only God’s Word provides the direction we need; it is a reliable lamp shining in a dark place.
The Word of God is alive because He is a living God. The Word of God is the spiritual reservoir of light that guides us from falling into the darkness of this world. The ultimate and accurate guide to determining what is right and what is wrong is the Word of God. The more we immerse ourselves in the teachings of the Bible, the more proficient we become in distinguishing between right and wrong and, ultimately, making the right decisions. In order to make informed decisions that can prevent catastrophic consequences, it is essential to tap into a higher level of knowledge known as the Word of God. This invaluable source of information will provide us with the necessary insights to stay ahead of the curve, especially in these challenging times. Lack of knowledge is often the root cause of problems encountered by individuals. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” The Scripture did not say the people are destroyed because of the devil or because of satanic activities, but because of lack of knowledge. When temptation comes, it’s the level of the Word of God in us that determines whether we fall inside or escape. When we don’t know, we will be cheap victims in the hands of the devil. Furthermore, it is worthy of note that when we get revelation from the Word of God or information concerning our lives, our entitlements and possibilities become more evident.
Beloved, obeying God’s Word brings blessings and rewards. So, always make time for what truly matters, no matter how busy life gets. The wisest and most empowering thing to do is to prioritize the things that align with the values of God, increasing your knowledge base of the Word to avoid stagnation in life. If you give it your full attention, the Word will give you the direction, correction, and wisdom you need to succeed in life and do the Lord’s work. If you do not want to move in this world with timidity, know God and His Word. Spend time on the Word. Read, study, memorize, and meditate on the Word with unrelenting zeal and hunger. When you study God’s Word, He guides you on what to do, where to go, and how to do things. By meditating on the Word, you add more glory to your life and radiate with His righteousness. You will soon discover the matchless riches and grace you will continuously enjoy. Build your faith in the Word and renew your commitment to it. God’s Word in you will put the devil to flight, facilitate your deliverance, and bring in your miracles. Remember, be a Word Bank.
O Lord, open my eyes to the revelation that will transform my life and push me into fulfillment in life and destiny in Jesus’ Name.
