For Your Heart Today

Life doesn’t always feel dark because of an obvious crisis or tragedy. Often, it’s darker in quieter ways—through uncertainty, competing voices, fatigue, and the pressure of decisions we’re afraid to get wrong. In those moments, we long for clarity and assurance, but Scripture reminds us that God’s Word rarely floodlights the future.

Instead, God’s Word is a lamp for our feet—offering just enough light for the next faithful step—and a light for our path—keeping us oriented toward God’s purposes over time. The gift of Scripture is not certainty, but presence. Not control, but companionship. God’s Word steadies us where we are and stays with us as the journey unfolds, reminding us that we are never walking alone.
