“Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who equip yourselves with burning torches! Walk by the light of your fire, and by the torches that you have kindled! This you have from my hand: you shall lie down in torment.” Isaiah 50:11

The Light of God is the Servant of God. That is the bold truth in Isaiah 50:10-11. There will be “no light” times in the lives of those who belong to Jesus Christ (v. 10). This “no light” can be seasons when hardships cast an on-going shadow over His faithful servants. But those who rebel against God attempt to walk in the light of their little fires they have kindled. By this they can only see so far, but after this comes judgment. The disaster of rejecting the One who is the Light of the world is to end up on a bed of sorrow. The “little lights” of human wisdom are a total failure. Those seeking to live under the banner of self-love, the ideas concocted by self-inflicted deception lead to the eternal darkness of the wrath of God (Rom. 1:18). The ideology of popular wokeness makes one’s feelings the main source of truth. Beware of lights that are not God’s Light.
