Journey: A New Believer's Guide to Spiritual GrowthSample

Real Truth: God’s Light

The world can be a very dark place. There are so many opinions and so-called truths, but Psalm 119:105 tells us that God's Word is like a flashlight. It is a tool and helps people find their way when their mind, wisdom, and strength aren't enough to navigate life's journey. 

What is guiding you along the path of life? How hard would it be to walk a path in the middle of the night without any lights? It would be really difficult, right? Yet, we can go through life without God's Word lighting the way. 

God offers us truth to help us know the way. He offers truth for our family, our marriage, our work, our church, our values, our calling, and more! It's all there; we just have to hear God's Word by reading it!

Turn to Psalm 119 and begin to pray the Psalm. It has 176 verses in the whole chapter, so if you don't get through all of it, that's okay. Just ask God to help you apply the verses to your own life. Oh, and when it says, "law" it just means God's Word or what God wants us to do. 

Prayer: Jesus, today is all about you! I want my life to reflect your goodness and love to those around me, so right now prepare my heart and mind to hear from you. Give me the spiritual eyes and ears to learn from you. Thank you in advance for what you're going to show me! In Jesus' name, amen!

Memory Verse: 

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." (Psalm 119:105)
