**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

The End of the World?

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power....... Thoughts on This Verse... Closing time! That's when everything is counted, the doors are locked, and the final tally is made. Jesus is Lord of closing time. Even though he won the victory over death and sin while he was here, we're still waiting to get swept up into his victory march. But, that day is coming. Every knee will bow! Every evil power will face destruction. The hearts that are yielded to God, however, will be placed into his loving and mighty hands forever. Our Lord reigns! 

-1 Corinthians 15:24 -

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Deep Down in my Heart

''Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! ... For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.''...... Thoughts on This Verse... Some things in Scripture don't need commentary, explanations, or elaboration; they just need to be spoken and believed. I encourage you to memorize this short passage of praise and keep it close to your heart, and let it come from your lips during all your times of difficulty as well as times of bounty and blessing. 


-Romans 11:33-36-

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

From the Inside Out

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

My heart and my soul, I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise, become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

My heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out

My Soul cries out to You
My Soul cries out to You
to You, to You

My heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out
From the inside out, O my soul cries out
From the inside out, O my soul cries out.

Special thanks for Tinashe for jamming with me and making this song run in my head again and again, love it lots!:)

(rather applicable to today's verse as well)

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

This is the Day that the Lord has made!

I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High....... Thoughts on This Verse... When was the last time you made up a song? The last time you made up a song of praise to God? Worried that you can't do it? Don't think it will be good? Don't worry! your only audience is your Abba Father who longs to hear your heart sing regardless of your voice's perfection or your melody's tune. He wants to rejoice and be glad with you. So open your heart and raise your voice to praise your God. 

-Psalm 9:2-
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

He is the way!

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD....... Thoughts on This Verse... No matter how fresh the start nor how great the plans we have made, if we do not walk with God, the coming days and months will not be a spiritual success. As we move forward, let's commit to serve the Lord. As we make plans for the future, let's make sure that those plans are made based on the LORD's revealed will in Scripture and prayerful consideration of what our God wants us to accomplish. 


-Proverbs 21:30-


**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Saviour, Redeemer!

The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him....... Thoughts on This Verse... God not only buys us out of our bondage and debt to sin, but he also assures us that he will provide refuge for those who trust in him. Our future is tied to him and not to our ability to provide and protect what we need. 



-Psalm 34:22-

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
