The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. — Isaiah 9:2
There are many times in life that I have spent waiting in the dark. I remember on many occasions as a paramedic, I spent dark and cold nights waiting with patients who were critically sick or injured. Those moments that life finds us waiting in the dark are moments that can bring great anxiety, stress, and discomfort.
Perhaps you find yourself at a moment in life when you feel as though you are in the dark. Maybe it’s related to your job, health, or just life in general. Isaiah was writing about a time in the dark very similar.
The people of Galilee were described here as being in the dark. Yet, there was a great light that shined upon them. One day, the Savior would be born and bring great light in the midst of their darkness. They just had to wait.
Waiting is the hard part. Our nature is that of impatience. God’s timing is perfect and does not always align with our desired timing. We have to trust Him.
If you find yourself in the dark today, be patient and wait on God. Don’t make a hasty decision or try to fix things on your own. Trust the one who is in control and let Him guide you.
