One evening, when I run to the store, I forget to turn on my porch light. So when I return home, it’s pitch-black on my porch.
Unable to find the key to my door, I turn on the flashlight on my phone. The purpose of the light is not for me to see the light itself. But the purpose of the light is for me to find the right key.
The Bible is a light. The purpose of the light is not just for me to see the light itself. But the purpose of the light is for me to see something else. The purpose of the light is for me to see what to do, how to do it, and where to go.
Before you make that transaction, enter that situation, or make that life-altering decision, turn on the light.
In Psalm 119:105, the songwriter tells God, “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path.”
