A. When your Path is Dark, He will be your Light
A. When your Path is Dark, He will be your Light
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
B. When your Path is Confusing, He will be your Peace
B. When your Path is Confusing, He will be your Peace
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
C. When your Path is Hard, He will be your Comfort
C. When your Path is Hard, He will be your Comfort
This is my comfort in my affliction,
that your promise gives me life.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.
D. When your Path is Weak, He will be your Strength
D. When your Path is Weak, He will be your Strength
Beat your plowshares into swords,
and your pruning hooks into spears;
let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
