The Divine Lamp
Homilist
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.


God's Word as a lamp is —

I. EVER NEEDFUL. Man needs a guide through life. His mental eyes are dim, and the road is drear, intricate, and dark.

II. ALWAYS AVAILABLE. It Suits every path in life. The path of the young and aged, the celibate and the married, the rich and the poor, the merchant, statesman, and philosopher, etc.

III. ALL-SUFFICIENT. It throws light on every conceivable step in life, and the light is clear and sufficient. None need stumble anywhere who hold it before them.

IV. INEXTINGUISHABLE. It burns as brightly in the hands of the youngest disciple to-day as it did in the hands of the old patriarchs. It is a quenchless light. The advancing intelligence of humanity will never supersede its necessity or dim its lustre.

(Homilist.)
