Vessels of Comfort Lifeline for Today - Tuesday, January 23, 2024

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:105)

If you have not chosen a scripture for the year yet, I am here to help you navigate your choice. This year, I chose 2 Timothy 1:7 which states, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” 

Why is this important? It is important because the Word of the Lord is a lamp to my feet and light for my path. We don’t know for certain what will happen this year, but we know that we will be challenged in this dark world. During our times of trouble, it becomes even more difficult to see God’s light. Through the Word of God and by the Spirit of God, we can get clarity, direction, wisdom, and correction in our walk. 

See my exercise below for the scripture I have selected (2 Timothy 1:7):

For the Spirit God gave us does not make timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

• Clarity: Despite what goes on this year, I don’t have to fear because the Spirit of the Lord is with me and provides everything I need in every situation. 

• Direction: When I am forced to decide between two opposing situations, I don’t allow fear to stifle what God wants to do in my life. Even when I “feel” fear, I don’t allow my fear to make decisions for me. 

• Wisdom: I am reminded that at all moments, the Spirit provides power, love, and self-discipline. 

• Correction: When I allow my fear to overtake me, I cast it down, knowing that it is not God’s will for my life. 

MEDITATION: Holy Spirit, thank you for your Word being a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path. Remind me of my commitment to a verse of scripture that will carry me through the rest of the year.  Apply this Word to my heart so that I do not sin against you, and I am steered in the right direction. In the Name of Jesus, Amen
