The Power of a Lamp

Picture this: you’re standing at the edge of a dark trail, the forest thick and silent. You’ve got no phone signal, no map, no glow of streetlights in the distance. All you hold is a single lamp, enough to illuminate the next few steps. Not the whole trail. Not the final destination. Just the immediate ground beneath your feet.

That’s what life feels like sometimes, isn’t it? And business too. You want the spotlight that reveals the whole future, the grand vision ten years down the line. But instead, what you get is a lamp, a quiet, steady beam that asks you to move forward one step at a time.

And that’s exactly what Psalm 119:105 reminds us of: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”
