"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path."
It's as simple as that. Your dark will be lit up with light. The Message says it perfectly, "By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path." So all there really is to say: read the Bible. Read it out loud, read it in silence, write it out on paper: get it into you any way you can. And, take out of that beautiful book of the Spirit of Jesus every ounce of light and promise and goodness for the season of life you are in right now.
Notice how the scripture doesn't say, "your word shines this massive bright light all over my path for miles and miles and I know what' do to for the next ten years..." It simply says, however, that like holding a flashlight or a torch on a dark path or in a dark room, it only really lights up the next step or two. You then take the next step and then after you take that next step, the next step will be lit up for you, and so on and so forth. So picture it like you're holding the Bible out in front of you: it's a flashlight, it's a weapon, it's a piece of art, it's a code, it's the answer to life's questions, and it will show you the next step to take.
So stay in it. It will take some dedication to this book for the Lord to speak through it to you. Don't give up. Your darkness will become light. If you're wondering the what's, when's, how's and who's of the next days, weeks, months ahead, don't be discouraged. Don't let the devil cover your eyes from behind. Shake him off like an annoying fly. The word of God will light up the path ahead of you. He is good and He loves you. He knows more than you.
