"Thy Word is a lamp . . . and a Light"
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
Psalm 119:105

Fall is coming upon us, where the days will be shorter, and the nights darkness will come earlier in the evening. I work third shift, live in the country, and was just sitting here thinking of traveling once again in the dark hours.

Have you ever been out driving down a dark country road with no streetlights to give you any notion of where you are? It's sometimes a little scary. Although you can rely on your vehicles headlights, they only allow you to see about 10 yards of road in front of you. You see where to go for that little stretch, and as you travel, that 10-yard stretch of road, the headlights show you 10 more yards, and 10 more, and so on, until you reach your destination safe and sound.

Well, this is how we should be living by faith. We aren't able to see tomorrow, or into next week, or into any time in the future which lies before us, but we can know that God will give us the light we need to find our way when we need it, when we have faith in Him. When we rely on our faith in God, He will direct our path always!

"For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see light."
Psalm 36:9
