“Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. ” (Isaiah 50:10b, ESV)

We know that God is Light, and that in Him there is no darkness at all (James 1:17). Yet for each one of us, we recognize that there are often times when we feel like we are totally “in the dark”. Sometimes, circumstances just don’t make sense, and it begins to seem like there is no logical explanation for what is going on. When you try to make sense of it, you feel like your stumbling blindly, waiting for someone to shed light on the situation.

This is where this verse comes in. When we walk in the dark, and we have no light of our own, we need not fear. We can rely upon the Lord and trust in His name!

This reminds me of what David said in Psalm 23 - “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil” - Why? - Because the Lord, His Shepherd was WITH HIM.

So today, maybe you feel like you’re in the dark. Be not afraid or dismayed, a light will come! Trust in the Lord, for even in the darkness, He is with you!
