A Light For My Path

Signal Hill is a hill that overlooks the city of St. John's, Newfoundland.

It was also the site of St. John's harbour defences from the 17th century to World War II.

The final battle of the Seven Years' War in North America was fought on Signal Hill in 1762 where the French surrendered St. John's to the British.

In December of 1901, Signal Hill was where Guglielmo Marconi received the world's first transatlantic wireless signal.

The neighbourhood Fort Amherst (named after the soldier who recaptured St. John's from French forces in 1762) can be seen from Signal Hill.

The first lighthouse built in Newfoundland was in 1810 in Fort Amherst. The lighthouse seen today in Fort Amherst was built in 1951 to replace it.

The Bible says that God's Word is our lighthouse that never needs to be replaced. It will always guide our feet and light up our path.

"Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet

and a light for my path."

Psalm 119:105 (NLT)
