Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105)
September 16 2026
Text: Psalm 119:53
Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law.
One of the many benefits of reading God’s Word is that we become more and more aware of His holiness and His righteousness. It doesn’t take long to become aware how truly evil and wicked this world is. And once we start to become aware of this, we will begin to become indignant of the state of wickedness around. And this is exactly how the Lord feels about sin in the world. His law has been forsaken. God’s indignation is tempered only by His mercy. As we read the Word and begin to feel indignant towards the wickedness of the world, let God’s mercy move your heart to compassion for the world that by the Spirit of God may bring conviction for sinfulness.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, as I read your Word, may I become more aware of your righteousness and more aware of the unrighteousness of the world. And by your Spirit help me to pray for the lost, that will come to the knowledge of the truth in Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
