Twelve Symbols # 8

 

Praise the Lord Saints! We will be talking about Symbol 8 today.

The symbol is a “Lamp” and it means “Light for direction.” Without light, it is very difficult to travel in a world plagued by darkness.

The Psalmist says, “Your word is a Lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105 ASV). It is easily understood that God’s word provides you to walk without stumbling when you work the word daily.

 

The book of Proverbs states that “For the commandment is a Lamp, and the teaching is light; and reproofs for discipline are the way of life… (Proverbs 6:23 ASV). The commandment, the teaching and discipline all are identifying the word of God which provides wisdom leading to abundance and eternal life.

 

The gloomy, murky darkness of this fallen world keeps people from seeing truth. Nevertheless, we have hope in the Light of this world, which is the Lamp of revelation who is the word of God, Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah.

 

Spirit Lead,
