OUT OF OBSCURITY

Isaiah 29: 18 - “And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.”

The phrase “out of obscurity, out of darkness” is a very powerful group of words. It signifies a drawing out, a transferring from one end and into the light and known. Darkness, and obscurity are one extreme and for those in this corner, the only suitable place to go is the other side – The LIGHT.

In the beginning of the Bible, Genesis 1:3, God said, “Let there be light: and there was light.” God created light and light now exists. But we need to consciously move out of the obscurity of sin and apathy into the light. It is only when you move in God's way that you can truly “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)

Let us not say: “...we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.” (Isaiah 59:9). Walk, in fact, LEAP over to the bright side. Come out of obscurity to Jesus and may the Lord help us and help us to help others. As for me the Lord is my light and my salvation.

“And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:” (Isaiah 58:10)
