#DTK "'Your word is a lamp to my foot, and a light to my roadway.'—Ps. 119:105.
God’s statements and reminders can help us to overcome obstacles that we may encounter on our path. When we read the Bible and let it guide us, we are experiencing firsthand what is described at Isaiah 30:21: “Your own ears will hear a word behind you saying: ‘This is the way. Walk in it, you people.’” Note, though, that Psalm 119:105 points to two related functions of God’s Word. First, it serves as a lamp to our foot. When we face day-to-day challenges, principles found in the Bible should guide our steps so that we make wise decisions and avoid the traps and pitfalls of this world. Second, God’s reminders light our roadway, helping us to make choices that are consistent with our hope of living forever in God’s promised Paradise. Thus, we will be able to discern the consequences—good or bad—of a particular course.—Rom. 14:21; 1 Tim. 6:9; Rev. 22:12. w07 5/1 1:4, 5"
