“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105 NLT
We have already noticed the sun setting earlier as the summer heat just barely begins to dissipate and children return to classes. If I cannot get outside earlier for an evening walk with Famous, I have to start thinking about increased safety precautions in the dark. It just makes sense that one or both of us should have a light source alerting neighbors who may still be on the road.
I have tried different methods. Carrying a flashlight is great for seeing where you are stepping, but it can be burdensome to if you are holding a leash. I have tried dog leads and collars that flash LED lights, but it time they usually break down. I found nominal success with a flashing ball designed to clip on to your dog’s collar, and it usually s shows up well against Famous’ white feathering. And if all else fails, the flashlight on my smartphone can serve as a warning beacon to drivers.
The world can be a dark place if we are not prepared with the light of God’s love. His lamp can illumine mysteries and blessings and help us to avoid sin and evil.
You are my lighthouse, Lord. Keep me safe today and always.
