Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
The Bible is not just a book to be read—it’s a living Word meant to be lived. Too often, we picture Scripture as something reserved for pastors, theologians, or scholars. But the truth? God’s Word was written for real people, in real struggles, with real needs—people just like us.
When you open the Bible, you step into the lives of fishermen, shepherds, mothers, kings, carpenters, and prophets. They weren’t perfect; they were ordinary men and women who wrestled with doubt, fear, loss, and hope. And in the middle of their humanity, God’s voice spoke. The same God who guided them is speaking to us now.
Think about how many “real people” through history have leaned on it. A soldier whispering Psalm 23 on the battlefield. A mother praying Proverbs over her children. A student holding onto Philippians 4:13 before a big exam. A grieving heart clinging to the promises of Revelation that tears will one day be wiped away.
We don’t read the Bible to simply know about God—we read it so we can know God. And as we know Him, His Word becomes less like ink on paper and more like a light guiding our steps.
You don’t have to be a theologian to use Scripture. You just have to be willing. Start where you are. Pick a verse. Let it soak in. Live it out. Because the Bible was never meant to be locked in a bookcase—it was meant to be lived by real people, every single day.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for giving us Your Word, written not just for long ago but for today. Help me to open the Bible with fresh eyes and a willing heart. Teach me how to not just read Scripture, but to live it out daily in my words, choices, and relationships. May Your Word be the lamp to my feet and the light to my path. Amen.
