I don't like to watch advertisements. Well, not all at the least. But being in a hotel room, I notice that I have the tendency to flip through the channels. And today, I stumble upon an advertisement that is promoting a christian CD. Amy Grant's - Thy Word is a Lamp Unto My Feet, was aired.
It was breadth taking. Stealing a moment of my life. I was time-ported to worship. It is a beautiful song and I like what Amy spoke about in her performance:
Erm,... it is a good thing to remember this song.
It's a... the choruses is from Psalms.
'Cuz all of us get a little bit lost in life.
Sometimes we are lost when we are young.
Sometimes we are continuously lost.
But it is easy to loose your way, especially when life last a long time.
I got a letter from a woman the other day,
she handed to me which is kindda crumpled and...
she said, "My mother has just passed away, she was in her 90s. [And] I was her care giver. I am probably a little too old to feel this way, but I feel just a little bit lost."
And I thought, "Well, I've known that feeling myself."
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid,
And think I�ve lost my way.
Still, you�re there right beside me.
Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
I will not forget
Your love for me and yet,
My heart forever is wandering.
Jesus by my guide,
And hold me to your side,
And I will love you to the end.
Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
And a light unto my path.
You�re the light unto my path.
I've know that feeling myself....
The words are so familiar.
The are so very familiar. I could recall those words were embedded in so many places in the bible. Being lost. Being tempted. Being sad. Feeling lonely. I recalled Him saying, "I know that feeling myself" (Hebrews 4:15).
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.
I am glad to have known Jesus since childhood. Feeling a "little lost" does occurs, and when they do come... it is good to know that His Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I never have the chance to hold a real powerful lamp that shines the whole city. The torchlight that I use in periods of blackouts only shines nothing more than just a few feet away. Similarly, during those periods of a "little lost", the Word of God provides just that sufficient guidance for me to move forward. There is still a lot of darkness infront, but the light is just enough. Just enough... ah, just enough. Reminds me of another verse that is hidden somewhere in my heart:
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Cor. 12:9)
His grace is just enough for me.
