Your word is a lamp  for my feet,

 a light  on my path.

Fire:

Jeremiah 5:14

Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says:
  “Because the people have spoken these words,
 I will make my words in your mouth  a fire
 and these people the wood it consumes.

Hammer:

Jeremiah23:29

Is not my word like fire,”  declares the Lord, “and like a hammer  that breaks a rock in pieces?

Seed:

Luke 8:11

“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

Sword:

Ephesians 6:17

Take the helmet of salvation  and the sword of the Spirit,  which is the word of God.

Dew:

Deuteronomy 32:2

He said:

  “The Lord came from Sinai
 and dawned over them from Seir;
 he shone forth  from Mount Paran.
 He came with myriads of holy ones
 from the south, from his mountain slopes.

Mirror:

James 1:23

 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror

Thoughts

.. This sounds very simple and maybe even trite, but very few people know that they are loved without condition or limits. - Henri Nouwen

.. To have the undivided attention of God can be disconcerting until one realizes that his gaze is tender and full of love and compassion. - Christine A. Dallman
