Light to Get Home By
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.


In the stress and vicissitudes of our earthly pilgrimage we know it as a lamp for our own difficult way: "Thy Word a lamp unto my feet." This recalls Charles Kingsley's phrase. On a dark, misty night he was cheerful, for, said he, "there is light enough to get home." That is all we really need — light enough to get home — and, if we follow His Word, that at least we shall not miss. We need not too wistfully and anxiously anticipate long futures, but live and walk from day to day in the light vouchsafed.

(W. R. Nicoll.)
