Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105) July 8, 2026 Text: Psalm 119:2-3 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways! (ESV) Blessed are those who keep his testimonies. What are the “testimonies” of God? Other translations render “testimonies” as “decrees”, “commands”, or “statutes”. All of which speak of that which has been spoken; referring to the “whole” Law. This would mean…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105) July 7, 2026 Text: Psalm 119:1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! In the English Standard Version (ESV) the word “blessed” is used 291 times. In the Psalms it is used 51 times. It is most consistently read as “blessed is the one”, or “blessed are those”. The meaning of “blessed” can be translated as “happy is…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) July 6 2026 Text: Psalm 1:1 “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked” We know that the Lord desires to bless us with His happiness, and with all that He is (see yesterday’s Daily Light Devotional). However, this “blessing” is not automatic, it is conditional. In this first verse of Psalm 1 we have the first of three conditions that…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) July 3 2026 Text: Psalm 1:1 “Blessed is the man…” There are those who argue that we shouldn’t be “seeking” God’s blessings, that to do so would to be dancing the dance of materialism. That dance can be avoided if we keep the Biblical understanding in front of us. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus no less than 9 times used the word “blessed” in…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) July 2 2026 Text: Psalm 18:3 “I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,    and I am saved from my enemies.” King David declares in Psalm 18:1 that the Lord is his strength. And David knows this strength because he knows the Lord to be his rock, his fortress, his deliverer, his refuge, his shield and the horn of his salvation. Because David knew all this,…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) June 30 2026 Text: Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is the horn of my salvation…” What is the “horn of my salvation”? Typically, they are seen as symbols of strength. In addition to that lets consider the event in 1 Kings 2:28. Joab had supported Adonijah’s claim for the throne of David, in opposition to Solomon. When Adonijah’s attempt tp take the throne failed, Joab fled. He fled to the “tent of…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) June 29 2026 Text: Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my shield…” All the previous images used in Psalm 18:2 (rock, fortress and refuge) are static. They remain in one place; they are places that we are “in”. The image of a shield is something that moves. A shield is worn “into” battle. Battles cannot be avoided. Life cannot be avoided. Even still, the Lord is my shield;…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) June 26 2026 Text: Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my refuge…” In Joshua 20:7-8 we read of the establishment of the cities of refuge. These are described in Numbers 35 and Deuteronomy 19 as places where those who have killed could flee for protection. Once they were in the city, and stayed in the city, they could not be punished or killed. This is a…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) June 25 2026 Text: Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my deliverer…” When the people of God are overwhelmed by the “odds” of life – the Lord will deliver us. He will deliver us in such a way that only God can get the credit. When Moses and the Israelites were pressed in from behind by Pharoah and his armies – God parted the Red Sea.…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) June 24 2026 Text: Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my fortress…” When we think of fortress, we might have in mind a castle, or a Fort that was built on the frontier. That’s not exactly the word that is being used in Psalm 18. The Hebrew word for “fortress” or stronghold and was in reference to stronghold built on the mountainside or summit. These…

Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105) June 23 2026 Text: Psalm 18:2 “The Lord is my rock…” The City of New Orleans is sinking. Why is it sinking? Because it established and built in the mouth of the Mississippi River. And because it is sinking, giant pumps pump water out of the city back into the Mississippi. That was one of the reasons why Hurricane Katrina (August 29, 2005 –…
