Turn the Light On

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:105 NIV)

By your words I can see where I’m going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. (Psalm 119:105 MSG)

Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible and which celebrates God’s Word, “is used in Jewish tradition to celebrate Rosh Hashanah (which is Jewish New Year)…It is fitting to use this psalm in that setting because the Psalmist beautifully expresses awe and adoration of God for his Word” (Open the Bible). As we celebrate a new year in just a few days, I’m reminded of the awesome power of God’s Word to light our path. I know just how much that has meant for me personally, especially this past year. Reading the Bible and having a verse(s) jump off its pages to illuminate the darkness in my life has been a constant source of strength and healing. I’ve been reminded to turn His light on and as we get ready to usher in a new year, I encourage you to do the same. Don’t go a day without it because it has the power to transform your darkest moments into one of your brightest. May all your days be merry and bright. Happy New Year!

One thought on “Turn the Light On

  1. Thank you for discussing this important topic as more than ever people are struggling with mental health issues, money problems, insecurity, anxiety, various fears, troubled relationship and some sadly are becoming prescription drug addicts as they try to numb and escape the emotional pain within. Meanwhile the unhealthy side effects of drug use are causing many premature deaths. We need the supernatural power of God Almighty more than ever to set the captives free, heal the hurting within and bring total transformation in people’s lives. The supernatural power of God with prophetic insight to heal and empower humanity is readily available as I’ve experienced around the world. Let’s join hearts in prayer to believe God to touch, save, change and transform our generation and lift us up to where we belong in Him. ~ Paul F. Davis from https://DreamMakerMinistries.com/
