His Word, Our Light

Psalm 119:105

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

Have you ever jogged in a park during the night?

This verse came about in the midst of a night jogging session.

Was jogging along the park when the light emitting from the side lamps caught my attention. Each lamp is spaced out, equidistant from each other, ensuring that the entire jogger's path is being lit up at night.

Somehow, the darkness that lurks beyond the lighted path seem rather tempting... tempting enough for people with the "adventurous" and "rebellious" streak to veer off course.

The row of lamps and the lighted path remains there, lighted in the midst of the darkness that surrounds, beckoning to those who've ventured away.

Some perhaps will grow tired... or perhaps even scared... that they decide to turn around and return to the lighted path, no matter how dim the light has become due to the distance.

Some run on and on... until they realise that all that surrounds is complete darkness. There comes a point where directions and bearings are lost.

Thank God that there's no such a thing as venturing too far out... less He comes again.

The first shall be the last... the last shall be the first... Even if one chooses to believe just a second before He comes, His Word promises that salvation comes.

Cheapo? No... Such is the grace of God.

Whenever you go on a night jogging, may it not just be a time you exercise and sweat it out, but a blessed time in the presence of God as He reveals His truths to you even as you jog. :)
