I was given this verse to ponder over the next several months. Actually to “chew on” and to sit with for the next few months. Thought I’d share it with you as well. It’s rather perfect for where I am right now.

Isaiah 50: 10

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.

And then, verse 11

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.

In my current season of life, the temptation is to light as many fires as I can, struggling to gain clarity by my own actions. Trying to light my own path, instead of walking in the darkness and trusting the hand of God to lead me. It’s hard to relinquish control and rest in Him. For me, it often feels impossible.

I’m chewing!
