A Light to Guide You
Q: What book of the Bible
says God's Word is a light for your path?
a. Hebrews
b.
Psalms
c.
Proverbs
Imagine this. You and a friend are on a camping trip with your
parents. The two of you get permission to walk to a nearby nature area. You
pack snacks and bottles of water into your backpacks, and you're off.
You have fun, but you weren't paying attention to the time.
The sun is setting quickly, and you realize you'd better head back to the
campsite. You know you just have to cut through the woods, and you'll be there.
"Which way?" you ask your friend.
"I don't know. What do you think?" He looks around.
"I'm not sure. Everything looks different in the
dark."
"Wait a minute. I think I have a flashlight in my
backpack." He digs around for a few seconds and pulls out a flashlight. He
clicks it on and a bright beam of light cuts through the dark.
"Point it over there," you say. "I think that's
the way back."
He shines the light where you point. Sure enough, it's your
campsite straight ahead. The flashlight saved the day.
God says his Word will be a light for your path. It tells
you how to live, and it helps you make decisions. It's important to become
familiar with the Bible so you can use it as your guide for life. Read from the
Bible each day and ask yourself how the Scripture applies to you.
For you: When it comes to
life's questions, you don't need to grope around in the dark, trying to find
your way. You already have a light and a guide. The Bible can guide you in
making the right decisions and knowing what to do when you aren't sure of the
way. Take time to read a few verses of Scripture every day.
Answer: b
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105
