Bible verse
Psalm 119:105
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
What it means
Notice the light is not a floodlight over the whole valley, only a lamp for the next step and the ground beneath you. God rarely shows the entire road at once, but He gives enough to keep walking. His word steadies the foot in the dark. For the Christian this light finds its center in Jesus, the Word made flesh, who does not just point the way but is the way. You may not see far tonight. You can see far enough to move.
