Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

In his book Jesus Loves Me, Dr. Calvin Miller writes, “The Bible is God’s diary, his last will and testament, his autobiography, his tied and bundled sheaf of love letters to the human race. It was written over 1500 years of time while empires were forged. Its authors were alternately poets and convicts, adulterers and mystics. Yet I go again and again to these diverse writers to feast on their words of God.”¹

The Bible is a feast, and a lamp, and a light. It’s a road map that unerringly guides us in our greatest decisions. The entrance of His Word brings light. The Bible provides moral clarity in our dilemmas, marvelous strength in our difficulties, and precious promises for all our days.

If you have a decision to make, try kneeling by your desk or bedside with an open Bible before you. God may not use a specific verse to give you a specific answer, but His Word and the inner guidance of the Holy Spirit will give you the wisdom and peace to know what you ought to do.

Confront your fears by drawing near to God.
