Light for the Next Step

Psalm 119:105 pattern

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” A lamp for the feet does not illuminate the entire journey. It gives enough light for the next step. Many of us stall because we demand the full itinerary. Guidance is frequently progressive: obey what is clear, and more becomes clear.

How you’d preach it

For those who want the whole map before they move. God often gives enough light for the next obedience.
