isaiah 50.10
who is amoung 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(or lean)upon his god.
in this verse it shows that there are people who fear god, obey god, do all they can for god, truely good holy people, WHO STILL GET IN PLACES WHERE THEY SIMPLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
that time of walking in pure darkness and having no light.
it kills so many, many people give up here.
but when we get here, i beleive it tests us,
DO YOU TRUST HIM? TRUST HIM SO MUCH THAT EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS HE CANT BE TRUE,WHEN IT SEEMS STUPID TO FOLLOW HIM?WILL YOU STILL TRUST HIM? EVEN IF IT SEEMS HES GOING TO MAKE YOU SACRIFICE YOUR ONLY SON ISSAC? WILL YOU STILL TRUST HIM?
those who do will make it through.
and notice it says,
trust in his NAME.
his names are like
jehovah SHAMMA, RA-AH, SHALOM, JIREH, TSIDKENU, RAPHA, NISSI.
all giving a trait of god.
we can get to a place where we say
god i cant see you, BUT I KNOW YOUR SHAMMA! I KNOW YOUR PRESENT!
i dont see you, BUT I KNOW YOUR RA-AH! MY SHEPERD AND YOU WILL PROTECT ME!
its to know his name, he cant lie, you can find rest in his promises! his names are his promises.
have an unmovable faith in him, and a great knoweledge of his name or character, and it will get you through.
and read the next verse
v11
behold, all ye that KINDEL A FIRE, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks thay ye have kindled. this shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
i beleive (this is lee, not god, just my thoughts, i dont sell this as fact, i cant prove it)
this verse is saying
for those who walk in darkeness and who have no light, dont wait for the morning, KINDEL YOUR OWN FIRE, AND WALK IN IT, IF YOU SIT HERE ALL NIGHT AND WAIT FOR MORNING YOU WILL FIND GREAT SORROW.(for morning may never come)
like the lepers said
"WHY SIT HERE TILL WE DIE?"
they got up, and walked, and god magnified their steps and they scared an army off and struck it rich! MY GOD!
we need a lesson from them.
anyway
for those people who cant seem to hear gods voice, or dont understand it, when the heavons are brass, when your about to give up cus god aint talkin,
open up the bible and walk by that!
YOU NEVER HAVE TO ASK IT TO SPEAK, YOU DONT HAVE TO WAIT FOR ITS VOICE!
jesus is the word. and we always have him right here right now!
ONE SCRIPTURE CAN LEAD YOU AND BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE BIGGEST BOOMING VOICE FROM HEAVON!
and anyone whos been a christian long knows that god dont shout from heavon like that often.
he didnt give us a written list of isntructions and wisdoms and commands if we was gonna tell it all hisself from heavon.
listen for his voice, but when it aint coming
1. TRUST HIM ANYWAY.
2. KNOW HIS CHARACTER OR NAMES OR PROMISES.
3. GET IN THE WORD, ITS NO LESS THAN HIS VOICE, IT IS THE SAME THING, AND CAN LEAD YOU JUST AS WELL.
4. AND GET MOVING, DONT WAIT FOR MORNING, IT WILL BRING SORROW, IT MAY NEVER COME.
