Todays verse talks about the word being a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, that doesn’t mean when its dark we open the bible app to use it as a torch but that the Bible is full of direction and instructions for us to follow the path that God has laid out for us. Whatever circumstances we face, the Bible will offer us wisdom.

Filling my head with His thoughts left no room for my own doubts. These words are as relevant today as they were when they were written. Gods wisdom is more accessible now than it has ever been.
