Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Abby finds her first clue under a lamp given to her by Ms. Weston – the irony that the Bible verse is about a lamp is not lost on us!
Though both in the movie and in real life, we can sometimes take this Bible verse too literally, it is also a good reminder that we can ask God for Him to show us the way when we are feeling lost. Whether we aren't sure what our next steps are in our career, in certain relationships, or with our family, God's word is there to provide us with direction.
Psalm 23:5 (NIV)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
It sure seems like Ms. Weston did enjoy reading the Psalms! While Abby interprets this Bible verse as clues in a kitchen setting, its Christian meaning goes a lot deeper. Through God's word and His bread and wine, we are sustained so that we are prepared to face our enemies. In Biblical times, they would anoint soldiers' heads with oil to prepare them for battle. God spiritually prepares us and equips us with what we need to face The Enemy.
Mark 9:24 (NIV)
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
Abby's friend Matt has seen many unfortunate circumstances in his work as a police officer. When Abby asks how he continues to have faith despite being a witness to incomprehensible situations, Matt quotes this Bible verse as a prayer he sends up to God.
Sometimes, there are moments in our life when we question God's presence and if He is truly there. Sometimes, there are some things in life that we try to grasp but still don't completely understand. This verse is a good reminder that we can ask God to help us with our own "unbelief" so that we can more fully rely on Him.
