My meditation book this morning quotes from Psalm 119: 105: “Your word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.”
It hit me: A light for one step at a time, not a crystal ball to show the entire future.
Dang! I would so much prefer the crystal ball or one of those bright sweeping spotlights that show everything. But the promise is a lamp.
It reminds me of the advice to writers from Robert Frost. He said: It’s very hard to drive in fog when you can only see as far as your headlights. But in fact you can drive a very long way and you can get home if you simply proceed to drive looking at only the road your headlights reveal.
Writing too.
Life too.
