Light for the Believer’s Path

WHEN a man walks through a thick forest, or over a rough way, on a dark night, carrying a lantern in his hand, the light does not shine far ahead. He can not see his path a mile before him, but he can see about his feet. And then, as he moves on, bearing the light, more and more of his path is made bright, the way becomes plain as fast as he journeys. So it is in the believer’s walk through life. The future is dark, but if we carry God’s word as a lamp, it is always light about our feet; and as we move on the light moves on. There may be perils and dangers before us, ambushed in the darkness, but the light will reveal them in time.
