"IN MY THOUGHTS"

"In my thought's"
(From the Christian Context of Psalms 119:105)



When the Scriptures said; "thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalms 119:105)",
it didn't literally mean the mere physical 'Lamp' we are accustomed to.
It only took significant meaning from that physical factor which we concur with. 

How can a man find his way through the dark with out the aid of a 'Light'? this is not possible except that same man makes do of the light provided by a Lamp. Darkness can keep a man away from the reality that are all around him, and limit him from certain privileges that lie wait all around him, until he comes to light he will remain limited and aimless.

I would like to term darkness in the context of this post as 'Ignorance' and the Lamp as the 'WORD of GOD(this we know as Bible students)', if a man continues to walk in ignorance and make errors that shows lack of understanding in issues and matters of life around him he definitely is in darkness.

That same man would believe his judgments and decisions are rightly poised, based on the earthly patterns and standards which his mind conforms with, and his eyes of understanding for the deep things of his earthly 'know how'.

His judgment towards delicate matters automatically shows his lack of depth in the balanced Godly understanding. He makes irrational decisions and is quick to jump into the wrong side of Gods will and purpose.

"The LAMP scriptures was talking about was 'Gods illuminating Word' that searches the deeper parts of the heart of men and the mysteries of this World."
Only when the Word of God which is the Scripture that we also know as the lettered Word of GOD which is the Holy Bible, resides in our hearts as 'thought's, as part of our language consciousness, as letters and numbers the runs in our minds, as names, as colors, as images etc that our mind is accustomed to day in day out.
We will not be able to walk through the Path of Godly Wisdom with ease and clarity.

So, "a lamp unto my feet" to me literally means "the WORD of truth and insight for my journey here on earth",
"And a light unto my path" means "revelation and clarity to my daily walk and dealings in this life".

Only a foolish Christian will make decisions without "scanning his/her decision with the WORD of GOD", sentiment and feelings are work tools of the earthly patterns that makes a "Wordless" Christian make series of errors that GOD definitely won't be pleased with.

Now, the question is; "How much of the WORD resides in you?"
For me its not how much of scriptures have you crammed so as to show how equipped a Christian you are(as a reason of showoff), NO!
I simply mean "how much of that little WORD that is in the inside of you that draws you back to GOD when you are about to make those decisions that makes or mar you, that reminds you of what GOD says about a situation".

"The WORD of GOD is Counsel unto this life, and Understanding unto this world"
- if I could be allowed to rephrase Psalms 119:105 the above phrase would be my thought shared to you.

To Christians, Leaders, Clergy's and all that seek to do the right will of GOD, it is only when the WORD of GOD in you draws you back to GOD for counsel and direction that you rightly will be living Psalms 119:105(Thy Word is lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path).

So, "don't say that thing you feel you should say or do that which you feel you should do" except GODs WORD certifies it ok and shows GODs will in it.

So to a larger populace of the body of Christ, let's stop living in "unrealized ignorance(darkness)" and pursue finding the right path with the WORD of GOD as the most Profitable Counsel.
