Even though the path we walk is surrounded by darkness, let us not fear at any time, for the Lord will be our light. Rather, let us trust in the One who makes our lives secure. As sinners, God also gives us the opportunity to repent, just as He did with His people.
In the previous article (The deceitful and wicked heart) we saw the mercy of God manifested to His people, since they had sinned and trusted in men instead of trusting in the One who could help them at all times. Therefore, we present our God as the only one who can give us rest and light a light in the midst of darkness.
This is precisely what chapter 7 of the book of Micah tells us:
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
Micah 7:8
There are times when we become desperate to the point of trusting more in man than in our God. That is when we fall into the enemy’s trap and, instead of having peace, we suffer attacks because we depend on human help.
It is time to trust more in God. Even if you feel that you are in darkness, your life will not be in danger, because God will be your light. In this chapter we can see the promise that God made to His people. We must not trust in anyone else, but in our God, who makes the impossible possible.
