Part II - Through the Glass Darkly

Continued from Part I -

As we continued to get whacked by branches, we slowed our pace accordingly. Progress became a bit more tentative, a bit more fatiguing, taking concentration and effort to "see" past the obstacles and recall how the trail had wound along in the Light of day. But we encouraged each other and resisted the discouragements, continuing along the path we knew was there.
Then, suddenly, I squinted at a cool, blue glow of light up ahead. And beside it, another. Somehow, the inky veil of night parted just enough to reveal glimpses of the path. Relief. Assurance.
Quite simply, our trail leader had thought to turn on his digital camera screen, and my 2nd-in-line buddie had flipped on his cell phone screen.
It wasn't the full Light of Day, but combined with the trail outline, the auxilliary light was enough to guide us.
Like the Words of the Bible illuminating our way to the comfort of God - Jesus in the lead, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit making all things clear, even revealing what treachery to avoid - branches, rocks and ruts.
Everyone has access to the supernatural GPS of God.
David even wrote of it in the Psalms of the Holy Bible:
Psalm 119:105 -
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."

What do you believe?
