Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet

 

 The Lamp unto My Feet | The Light unto My Path

Every day is a test of our faith. Let the Word of God be the Lamp and light to your daily walk. We are not exempted from falling, the busy world is a dark path to walk on. Let the light of God shine to clear that path so we can avoid the bumpy and rugged road. 


How do you take the word of God?

As a believer, we need to get our source of power by infilling our hearts with the Word of God. 

  • We READ it to know what is written in the bible
  • We STUDY it to learn biblical principles for our daily living
  • We MEDITATE it to strengthen our soul and spirit
  • We SHARE it to the lost and needy of God’s Salvation plan. 

Reading the Bible

It is a good habit, to begin with. The uniqueness of the Bible is that you can read it anywhere! 

The Bible

It is a compilation of books throughout the ages, with two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Central figure is our Lord Jesus Christ who was the awaited Messiah promised by God in the Old Testament and He is the Awaited Savior who came in the human form, died on the cross and rose again the third day. He is the awaited messiah to return,, to earth.

If you are new to the bible reading, I would suggest to read the 4 gospels first; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These are all the accounts of the life of Jesus  on earth. Lived among us, the “Word” as John described Him in John 1:1, became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14. 
There are so many record of Him as a human, friend and teacher. There is so much to learn about Him and records, it's important to know Him, His life, His works, His MiraclesinstructionsNew Testament, and many more.

Then you can move forward to the life of the apostles through the book of Acts or to the letters of Paul to the new testament churches. These are instruction for practical living. As you learn more, you will surely want to dig more and learn more. It would be best to create a daily habit of BIBLE READING, at least 1 to 3 chapters a day. 

Study the Bible

It would also be the best way to take time to develop a study habits. You will grow much by putting on the right context of what the bible means. In studying, you get to know some background information about the character, the costumes and traditions at that time, the events that took place, and the time frame. 
You can attend a bible study session of small groups in your area. If none, you can reach out to us from our facebook page at TheLightandPath. And we will arrange a bible study session with you online.

Meditate on the Word of God

Meditating means to focus one's mind for some time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation. Or think deeply about something. This is a good habit to prepare yourself every day. 
God speaks to us through His word. If you spend time and think deeply with what you read, your heart and mind will be directed towards doing what the Lord requires of you about tomorrow every day. 
You can spot the points God wanted to communicate with you. Here are some of the points you can consider thinking deeply;
    • A promise to claim
    • A Command to obey
    • An example to follow
    • A sin to forsake or ask for forgiveness 
    • Knowledge about God
Not all will be found in your meditation, may be one or two can be obvious. This is for you to exercise your faith. The practical application will guide you each day to live by God’s principles

Share what you learned. 

What a joy it is to let other people know about God through His words - the Bible. There are so many lost and needy, when you share with the word of God, you also share your lifesome with them as God is in the process yo transforming your life into a mature plannershortlyBible-believing Christian. 
Take time to share what you have learned, you will understand and know the joy beneath when you do that.

How to avoid failure in Life

Image
   Depart from evil, and do good; Psalm 37:27a This is a straightforward command we can read from the very word of David, the psalmist, who wrote these words found in the book of Psalms chapter 37. Looking at this 27th verse, King David pointed out a direct command for us to avoid failure in life.  Depart from Evil  What's in it? And what are the things we can consider Evil? That we have to depart from it. The next command is a positive one, which is the opposite direction of the one we have to avoid. What's in it, How to Avoid Failure? This will reveal the path we are headed. If you are walking on a journey, there are two directions. The first one is the evil direction and the other is the good direction. We can say that as a person created by God, there are two distinct directions we are in, it's either the "evil way" or the "good way". Why does it seem to show that, by default, our direction is going evilly? It is evident how King David emphasizes the...

The steps of a good man | Navigating Virtue and Purpose

Image
  Navigating the Virtue and Purpose of our life is illuminated by integrity, compassion and resilience. This path belongs to a good man - a seeker of truth, a steward of kindness, and a guardian of a noble ideals. Being a Christian means following God's commands. You're already referred to as a " good guy " when you put your faith in Him. You are not good and free from all mistakes, however. Being good means being the person God wants you to be. Our hearts are where it all begins, our thoughts and actions are influenced by our heart's desire. No one can see the intentions of our hearts the way God sees them. And, in that regard, man's position before a Holy God is in total darkness if not reflected in the light of God's standard. As the man journeys through the labyrinth of life and chose to follow the light, the path that a man walks on leaves an indelible mark on the world, shaping destinies and inspiring others to follow.  Being 'good' in the ey...
