Join your host Susan Downie as invites you into her quiet time to spend fifteen to twenty minutes in the psalms this morning. Praying for a friend who is seeking guidance, Susan uses the framework of this Psalm to explore how God guides us with a lamp to our feet and a light on our path.
Using personal testimony she allows us to see how she uses the psalms in a specific way, reminding us that God's word is trustworthy and that it preserves our life eternally when we abide by his decrees. Susan adds that the lamp to our feet is His word, His Word who became flesh, and this is Jesus the light of the world.

In this episode Susan Downie opens the Gospel of Mark to explore Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit descending like a dove, and the audible declaration from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love." Using the Uncover Mark study as a guide, she reflects on how this moment reveals Jesus’ identity, God’s love, and our access to relationship with the Father through Christ.
Susan connects Old Testament prophecy, Gospel parallels, and everyday life to show how God’s affirmation at the Jordan invites us into being loved and known—before we do anything to earn it—and sets Jesus on his mission led by the Spirit.
