Rays of the Lamp

A couple of blogs ago I mentioned this:

"Life absent of Christ is like a Mirage; once a person thinks they have found something satisfying outside of Christ, it disappears and they have nothing. Lord, use us to help others that are blind; those who keep going after empty things, see the truth!"

Lord, help me when I too start looking to something outside of you to satisfy me. Unbelievers are blind to what is truely satisfying and you have removed that blindness from my sight, yet I still fail and look to other things. I may not have 20/20 vision, but I pray that your Word would be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. May I be a illumined by the rays of the lamp, your Word. May the truths in your scriptures help me keep my focus and satisfaction in you when the temptations and lies to find it elsewhere is around me. In Jesus name, Amen.

Pray this often and read The Parable of the Lighted Lamp (Luke 11:33-36)!

Other thoughts...
The light of a lamp helps you to read
The lamp, God's Word, helps you to live
Reading in the dark strains the eyes
Life without the lamp, God's Word, is like trying to walk with shoe strings that are tied together.
With shoe strings tied together it is hard to walk without stumbling, it is harder to stay focused on what is ahead.
How precious is God's Word... read it and be refreshed!
