“Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely upon his God.
Look, all you who kindle a fire, who encircle yourselves with sparks: Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled — This you shall have from My hand: You shall lie down in torment”
Incredible. That verse is an incredible picture of people who try and make things happen on their own, they light their own fire, they rely on themselves to get them through the darkness. Here Isaiah speaks to Israel about their hope in the Servant of God, speaking of the coming Jesus.
The picture is profitable for us today.
