Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
Psalm 119:105 NIV
Your Word
According to a report by The Canadian Global Affairs Institute, “Canada is a blessed nation – in its neighbour, in its resources, in its people. This good fortune can be sustained through prudent but progressive policies at home and constructive internationalism abroad. In a messy world, providing good government and managing diversity at home will make Canada a country from which other nations can learn. Canada must always look outward. Internationalism and multilateralism serve the national interest. These were the principles behind the speech that defined Canadian postwar policy.”

There was the cutest little video on social media the other day. A little girl was asked what she would change about herself if she could, and she said, “I would put eyes on my toes.” The interviewer then asked the obvious question – why? The little girl said, “So I wouldn’t stub my toes on the bed legs at night.” We have all experienced the sudden jolt awake when we’ve done that. It isn’t easy navigating at night, not even in familiar territory. If this is the case with things physical, it is also true spiritually. King David, living in a day when there was little light at night, writes this in Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” We live in a dark world. There is so much that can trip up the followers of Jesus, who are committed to living a life like Jesus. David expressed what we all need to know – it is God’s Word that brings the light to the path of life on which we walk. Trust His word to be your light.
These have been words from the heart.
