Devotion Week 3: 21st February 2021 Theme: We need the light of God’s Word Hymn: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6LC8cu03Ig CHORUS: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path [X2] When I feel afraid, Think I’ve lost my way Still you’re there right beside me Nothing will I fear, As long as you are near Please be near me to the end CHORUS: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path [2] I will not forget, Your Love for me and yet My Heart forever Is wandering Jesus be my guide, And hold me to your side I will love you to the end CHORUS: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path [2] Psalm 119:105 (NIV) ‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path’ Have you ever wondered why you’re so afraid of the dark? I don’t like the dark because I can’t see what I’m stepping into and where I’m heading to. I’m afraid because there are so many unknowns and or dangers that may lay ahead. Sin brings darkness and death. But the Word of God brings light and life. We need the light of God’s Word to guide us through the pit holes and entanglements in the darkness of this fallen world. The Bible gives us guidance and direction in life Reflection: • How are you finding the Word of God lighting your path these days? • Are you putting your trust in God to guide you every step of the way? Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word, which not only gives light but is the light. I pray for your Word to illuminate my heart and my mind and lead me to walk in the right path. Thank you for being the lamp to my feet and the light along my path in this dark world. Help me to follow you closely every step of the way so that I may not stumble, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen
