‏ Psalms 119:105

NUN. God’s Word Is a Lamp and a Light

This section explains why God gave us His word. The Bible is like a lamp and a light. It helps us see what is true about God and ourselves. Without it, the world would be a dark place. God’s word shows us what is wrong and dangerous. It guides us in the right way, both in the big choices and in the small steps we take every day. We truly appreciate God’s gift when we use His word to guide our actions and decisions.

v. 105: The psalmist says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” . God’s word is not just for learning or thinking. It is meant to guide how we live. Like a lamp, it helps us see where to go so we do not make mistakes or take the wrong path. The Bible is like the lamps in the sanctuary or the pillar of fire that led Israel. It is kept burning by the Spirit and is always ready to help us. We should use it to guide every step we take, so we do not go the wrong way (Proverbs 6:23 a).
