Psalm 119:105-112 sings, "Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." I really like the image of life as a journey, and I agree that we navigate this journey best, when we illuminate it with God's holy scriptures.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been having some interpersonal struggles. In typical human fashion, I've found myself villainizing the other person, and assuming the worst about their motivations. But I didn't see anything wrong with that until just recently.

What changed? I exposed myself to the truth of God's word.

For some time now, I've established a daily habit to read a portion from the Bible. I invite God's light to illuminate my heart, and He has done so time and again! Recently, God shone the lamp of his holy scriptures onto my attitude for this relationship. God has exposed my sin to my conscience!

We are all brothers and sisters, and none of us are perfect, especially me! I need to work diligently to be at peace with everyone, bathing them in the same grace in which I have been washed!

I have not come to this revelation on my own! God's Holy Spirit has put a finger on a part of me that belongs to the old way of life. This "old man," needs to be crucified with Christ, so the "new man" of the Spirit can be resurrected through Christ's love!

I invite you to immerse yourself in the ways of God, and expose yourself regularly to the correcting influence of Holy Scripture. Don't look at it as "self-help," but see it as it really is: God-help!

I pray that you allow God to speak to you through his word, so that he might direct your paths!

Amen.

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
106 I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to observe your righteous ordinances.
107 I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord, according to your word.
108 Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord,
and teach me your ordinances.
109 I hold my life in my hand continually,
but I do not forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but I do not stray from your precepts.
111 Your decrees are my heritage for ever;
they are the joy of my heart.
112 I incline my heart to perform your statutes
for ever, to the end.
