Isaiah 50:10-11
"Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of
his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him
trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. Behold,
all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about
with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in
the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye
have of mine hand; ye shall
lie down in sorrow."
Grace usually appears most in believers when in darkness, Those that truly fear God, obey the voice of Christ. A servant of God may for a long time be without views of eternal happiness.
Put your trust in the name of the Lord; and keep yourselves upon the promises of the covenant, and build your hopes on them. Let yourselves trust in Christ, trust in His Holy name, The Lord our Righteousness; stay in union with God and let Him be your God.
Sinners are warned not to trust in themselves. Their own merit and sufficiency are what they base their life on. But their comforts are as sparks, short lived, and soon gone; yet the children of this world, while they last, seek to warm themselves by them, and walk with pride and pleasure in the light of them.
My Friends, Those that make the world their comfort, and their own righteousness their confidence, will certainly meet with bitterness in the end. A godly man's way may be dark, but his end shall be peace and everlasting light. A wicked man's way may be pleasant, but his end will forever be utter darkness.
Amen!
