He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future.

God is not going to let you see the distant scene either. So you might as well quit looking for it. He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future (Psalm 119:105). We do not need to know what will happen tomorrow. We only need to know he leads us and "we will find grace to help us when we need it" (Hebrews 4:16 NLT).

It does little good to make the trip and miss the journey!

Reaching for the Bible on the end table.) There's an answer for every occasion in here. Like a map for life.

They would inspire, encourage, and equip their people to read the Bible.1
