It's the most wonderful time of the year. Join us for "Wonder of it all", a new series that looks at this Christmas a little differently. This may be the most wonderful time of the year with friends, family, shopping, and eating, but we can never forget who we are celebrating about. Christ truly is the Wonder of it all, and He comes as the perfect gift to us that you can't find anywhere else.
A Well-lit Road
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105
Until I became a Christian, I had never read the Bible. The closest I had come was looking at the Bible in the family room that was sitting on the coffee table, but I had never actually read it. Certainly I never thought of it as a book that would have something to say to me. So, after I received Christ, my brother gave me a Bible in an easy-to-understand English version and said, "Just start reading."
I started in one of the Gospels, and as I read the words of Jesus, they jumped off the page and spoke to my life. I thought, “This applies to me.” Up to that point, I had been following everyone else around, figuratively speaking, even though I didn't know where they were going. So, it was amazing that suddenly I had a map to follow and I was now following God.
So many people today want direction for their lives. Yet, God has given us a map, and this map, of course, is the Bible. It tells us how to live. The psalmist said, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105). Everything we need to know about living is in the Bible. That's where we can find direction for our life. We no longer have to wonder if we’re on the right road or not. God gives direction for our journey through a map called the Bible.
Only God knows the future, and His road is well-lit. So, if you are looking for direction, you don't have to go any further than the Bible, God's roadmap to life. He will show you how to live. You don't have to pay anything for it. In God's Word, you can find His counsel and direction for you.
