Day 106: Isaiah 50:10

"Who among you fears the Lord and obeys his servant? That person may walk in the dark and have no light. Then let him trust in the Lord and yet depend on his God." ~Isaiah 50:10, NCV

Back in Bible times, God would send prophets, His servants, to tell the people what He expected of them. Thus in order to obey God, often times you would have to hear the words of His servant, a prophet, and then put them into action. As sons and daughters of God, we no longer have to wait for a prophet to tell us something's wrong or something's right - we have direct access to God. But we still have to obey what we hear! (And of course, we still must listen.)

If we do that, we can walk in the dark, without any light, and not stumble. In dependence on our God, in trust that He will guide us, no matter how dark the situation, we can win. If you want to succeed, trust in God. If you want to quit being scared, trust God.

I know that it's easy to hear. So listen to it, say it over and over, and make yourself believe it. Remember what God's done, and keep on keeping on!
