Flashlights.//

Jesus, Jesus
Holy and anointed One, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
Risen and exalted One, Jesus
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/v/vineyard/holy_and_anointed_one.html ]
Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus, I love You, I love You.


This song. 
One of those that I've probably heard over a 100 times... but it meant so much more this morning.
Especially the "Your Word is a lamp unto my feet" line.
In worship this morning I got an odd picture of this. Our feet were actually flashlights. 
(good luck walking, right? but that's beside the point...) 
We were on this dark path, walking easily with our flashlight feet, and that is what was lighting our way. 
God just spoke to me through that. 


How silly is it that we often try to walk with the light off? Or to put it in "real words"... God has given us His word to help us along in our life. Why do we (me definitely included) think that we don't need to really get into His word to walk straighter? 
crazy idea, right?
If someone were to give us tools to build a house, would we be so ignorant as to try to build without them? Or if we were given a car to drive, would we still say, "No thanks, I'd rather walk to the store that's a hundred miles away..."
stupid.


God has given us His word to help us.
It seriously has all the answers.
It was NOT just written for people that were alive when it was written.
IT'S FOR NOW.


Am I making the most of that? 
Am I really digging in? 
Am I trying to solve my own problems or am I looking to God and His Word to help guide me?


Are you?


Sidenote: I, of course, googled "flashlight feet" for a visual and "oddly enough" there were no images found. There are flashlight shoes though. 
So here's a visual for added....something:
