The Upper Room Devotional 6 November 2024 Today
Topic: Tracks to Safety
Awlwyn Balnave (British Columbia, Canada)
Today’s Reading
Psalm 119:97-105
Thought for the Day
God’s wisdom in scripture brings clarity to my confusion.
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. – Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
The Upper Room Devotional 6th November 2024 Message
I remember being caught in a snowstorm while driving through a high mountain pass. The snow soon developed into a blizzard, and I was unable to see more than a few feet ahead. But a truck in front of me was leaving tire tracks in the six-inch deep snow, so I did the only thing I could; I followed the tracks. If it had driven off the cliff, I would have been right behind! Eventually, though, the truck led me down the mountain to safety.
That experience caused me to remember these words from Psalm 119: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Spiritually speaking, it can be as difficult for us to know the way forward as it was for me to find my way in that snowstorm. Temptations may be intense at times. Or we may simply find ourselves at a fork in the road, unsure of which path to take. No matter the cause, the way forward for us at times may not be clear. But when we rely on the wisdom of Psalm 119, God’s word can dispel the darkness and reveal the way we should go. When we are grounded in scripture, God’s guidance keeps us ready for any trial.
Today’s Prayer
Dear God, help us to hear your voice speaking to us through scripture, especially in difficult times. Guide us each day, and reassure us of your presence with us. Amen.
