Psalm 119:105 - Do You Know Where You Are And Where You Are 
Going? 

Psalm 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light 
unto my path. 

Psalm 119:105 (CWR) Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light 
for my path. 

As a light shines upon our feet it shows us where we are at and 
as it shines on our path it shows us where we are going. God's word 
likewise can show us spiritually WHERE WE ARE AT in life and WHERE WE ARE 
GOING. [thought from Dan Parobek SS class] 

   Light facilitates sight; whenever God shines his light on 
something, he does so for the purpose of illuminating it so that we can see 
it. 
   When David speaks of the word of God lighting both his feet 
and his path, he is speaking of two different temporal dimensions: 
The word of God lights my feet so that I can see where I'm walking 
right now; and the word of God lights my path so that I can see where 
I'm headed. 
   There are moments in which we cannot see where we are or 
where we are going. In those moment we simply need to trust that God 
is leading us beyond our ability to follow him. However, those 
moments are not supposed to characterize our lives; they are just 
moments. God ultimately desires to fill us with the knowledge of his will 
(Colossians 1:9) so that we know both where we are and where we are going. 
He wants to give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that the 
eyes of our understanding may be enlightened (Ephesians 1:17-18)...  
   God's action is that he has given us his word, but our 
experience of that word is that it lights both our feet (our current 
position) and our path (our future destination) so that we know both where 
we are and where we are going. That is, when you say, Your word is 
a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, you are actually saying, 
"Thanks to your word, I can know where I am and I can know where I am 
going!"  adaptation from Pastor Benjamin Robinson  

To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.
