Scripture Connection
Where does Scripture echo this?
Psalm 119:105–112 portrays God’s word as light for a path, followed by obedience and prayer amid difficulty. Its guidance image illuminates Proverbs 3:5–6, where trust and acknowledgment of the LORD accompany straight paths. The connection is thematic; neither passage provides a private forecast.
