As a reader of the bible I have one practice that I partake in each time I open the word. It is always my task to find any text in relation to Jesus. He is the word, therefore I love to find him in the obvious and the not so obvious realms of the Logos word, and turning it into the Rhema word. My catchphrase; What's the word in the word.
Psalm 119; 105: Your WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The word of God lights up the pathways of our light. It guides us in all avenues we pursue in life It should be the one thing we should follow in our ventures at work, in family, in ministry. The word is the guide.
The word not only illuminates the path ahead but it lights up the feet walking it. The word helps shine on our feet, showing us how we are walking, keeping us from stumbling but also a teacher on how we are walking; a marker on how well we are doing in our walk with the LORD. God is good. he will show us the right way by his word, but he'll also help us get there by showing us how to embrace the path ahead.
Now put Jesus, or son in this passage and it rightfully takes on a greater meaning for us as Chrsitians today, without stepping on any theological toes, because john 1;1 clearly establishes that Jesus is the WORD of God, est. from the start.
'Your Son (Jesus) is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The word is living and active it's a lamp that is on the inside of us, by his Spirit we have illumination on the condition of our hearts and the condition of our hearts.
The word really comes alive when we place the son of God at its center, where he has always been and should always remain.
