Isaiah 13
I have just been reading of an Afghan woman explaining to a correspondent that the women who continue to wear burqas, the full-body coverings mandated by the Taliban do so even though they don’t like them and are no longer forced to wear them because:
“We have lived in darkness for so long that now we are afraid of the light.”
v 10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.
The Day of Judgment will be day of darkness. Evil flourishes in darkness.
Some today even though they may have faith cannot see the stars in the sky. They are unable to see the sunrises that happen every day. They only see clouds not the sun, not even the rays through the clouds. The lights have gone out. Actually the light is there, but they cannot see it.
Today come out from the darkness, forgive and let go where that is needed, trust the God of light again. Do not be afraid to change. Do not be afraid to step into the light. He is waiting for you. He has not stopped shining.
