A Sure Foundation

 We journey through a fallen world with many dangerous pitfalls, slippery places, and dark foes seeking to destroy our close fellowship with our Lord, but in Psalm 119, we are given a beautiful promise and an eternal truth... that God's Word is a gleaming lamp to our feet that will guide us through the darkness of this fallen world and it is a shining light to brighten the pathway we take.
 Not only are there external difficulties and dangers to face in life's journey, but also there are internal failings and weaknesses that lurk deep within our souls which can cause us to walk away from our 'First Love'... but God's Word provides a sure foundation upon which to stand in a darkened world that is falling apart.
 The Bible is the sure Word of the living God, Who has told us the end from the beginning, and all God’s children do well to take heed to its precious pages as unto a light that shines in a dark place.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your written Word which provides us with such strength for today and great hope for tomorrow. As we step out into the darkness of this fallen world, we pray that Your Word would truly lighten the way we take and lead us down the path of righteousness. Help us to hide its truths in our hearts, and be ready and willing to follow Your will for our lives as we face the difficulties and trials that lie ahead of us. Thank You for Your Word of light and truth in this world we live in today. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
