A Guiding Light

Commentators explain that the word 'warned' means more than just a caution against danger. It carries the idea of being 'illuminated,' 'instructed,' and 'made bright.' God's Word acts like a divine guidance system, shining a light on the right path to follow and revealing potential pitfalls, thus making us wise and circumspect in our daily lives.
