July 14

When I was growing up, I listened to a lot of music by Amy Grant. I had several of her albums and played them so often that I could probably, all these years later, still sing along if the occasion arose. This sight at the park immediately brought the words of one of her songs to mind:

Thy Word, which was inspired by Psalm 119:105, is, at its core, about trusting the Word of God and allowing it to be life's primary guide. It was a God-thing that those old lyrics came to mind so quickly and so naturally as I peered up at the street lamp. It was a good reminder of what's real and what's important.
