Isaiah 50:10 is asking if there is a believer, somebody who fears the Lord, walking in darkness. He is not referring to the darkness of sin, or even the darkness of this world. He is talking about the darkness of uncertainty - that blanket of heaviness that settles in as though a black cloud has drifted over our very being. God has suspended His conscious blessings

What is a person to do during these times? Isaiah teels us that, no matter how dark it gets, we are to keep on walking. In the light we can see the next step. The path is clear. We know a friend from and enemy, and we can see where the obstacles are. But when darkness settles in, every natural instinct says to drop out, sit down, stop! We become fearful of the next step.

Isiah says don't stop; keep on walking in the light of previous revelation. If it was true six months ago, it is still true, I wait until the cloud lifts and everything is clear and in focus again.

If God's ministry of darkness should envelop you, understand that God has not left you; He has only suspened His conscious presence so that your faith will not rest on feelings or be established by unique experiences or blessings.
