Today God says:
"My Word is a light to your path".
He promises me:
"Thy word is a lamp unto me feet, and a light unto my path". (Ps. 119:105)
My response to the word:
God's Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I will walk in the light it provides throughout this day. The light of God's Word fills me with faith, dispels the darkness, reveals the pitfalls, frightens the creatures of darkness, and directs my steps. I will remember that Paul calls the Bible, "the sword of the Spirit" and I know that the sword of the Spirit never grows dull with use. Instead, it keeps getting brighter and sharper.
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for the light of your Word which clearly shows me which steps to take as I proceed through life. I will walk in the light of your Word today.
Today's scriptures:
"Also take salvation as your helmet and the Word of God as the sword that the Spirit supplies". (Eph. 6:17 GW) "Do what God's Word says. Don’t merely listen to it, or you will fool yourselves". (James 1:22 GW) "I've written to you, young people, because you are strong and God's Word lives in you. You have won the victory over the evil one". (1 John 2:14 GW)
Quote for today:
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. (Leonard Ravenhill)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 8th Mar 1856, Bramwell Booth was born in Halifax, Yorkshire. Known to his family as 'Willie', as a youth he suffered poor health and had a slight hearing loss. In 1870, aged just 14, Bramwell Booth started to help in the management of his father's Christian Mission and in the cheap food kitchens set up in its early days. He became an active full-time collaborator with his father in 1874, and an officer when the Christian Mission became The Salvation Army in 1878. The name The Salvation Army developed from an incident in May 1878. William Booth was dictating a letter to his secretary George Scott Railton and said, "We are a volunteer army." Bramwell Booth heard his father and said, "Volunteer? I'm no volunteer, I'm a regular!" Railton was instructed to cross out the word "volunteer" and substitute the word "salvation".
