A Lamp to My Feet

📝Reflection

This verse is where the name of this cluster, "the Lamp of Wisdom," was born. An ancient lamp could not shine far like a headlight today; it lit only the very next step. Here lies a truth of life. We always want to see the whole road in advance, but wisdom only lights the next step. I long grew anxious that I could not see all the way ahead. But a lamp was always a one-step thing. Take that one step, and the next brightens. Not trying to see everything, but trusting and taking the one step that is lit — that was the only way to walk through the dark.
