Thoughts on Today's Verse...

So often, those of us who have received the blessings of faith and the guidelines of the word of God don't fully appreciate them. Can you imagine what it would be like to try to define your worth, clarify your values, or establish your sense of purpose without a standard of truth? Imagine what it would be like to be lost without a map, without a compass, or without GPS? Remember what it was like to wake up in an unfamiliar place as a child in the pitch black darkness, totally disoriented? We don't have to worry about that now, do we? God's word - both the Scriptures and the Son - light our dark paths and show us the way home!

Video Commentary...

We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:

My Prayer...

O Lord, my Abba Father, thank you for not leaving me in darkness. Your Word, the Scriptures, lights my path, and your Word, the Son, is the Light of the World and enlightens my life. Thank you for not leaving me alone in darkness to try and find my way through life. In Jesus' name, I thank you for your Word in the Scriptures and your Word, the Son who lights my way. Amen.
