A Light Unto The Nations

As we strive to walk in the ways of our Heavenly Father, living set apart from the rest of the world can seem far out of reach. Everyone is foreign to us. We are foreign to them. We are placed in a society where our views are rejected and the Truth we share is obsolete.

Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to them that call evil, ‘good’ and good, ‘evil,’ that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Some may be kind to us out of pity or just feel obliged to do so. Some put on a facade, but deep within their black hearts, they hold bitterness and animosity towards those who are truly walking in the light because darkness hates light!

Micah 7:8 “Do not gloat over me my enemy! Though I have fallen, I WILL RISE. Though I sit in darkness, YHWH will be my Light.”

We should not lose hope when people insult and revile against us, for YHWH will get us through the darkness and bring us into His marvelous Light.

Acts 13:47 “For so the Master has commanded us, ‘I have set you to be a light to the nations [Gentiles], that you should be for deliverance to the ends of the earth.’”

We are beacons of light in the midst of a dark world. And the light overcomes darkness.

Psalm 18:28 “You, YHWH, keep my lamp burning; my Elohim turns my darkness into light.”

We put our trust in YHWH and no one else because He is our only hope, strength, and peace. What sorrow awaits those who put their trust in man, who seek counsel from the world rather than the One Who gives refuge!

“Woe to the stubborn children,” declares YHWH, “to make counsel, but not from Me, and to devise plans, but not of My Spirit, in order to add sin to sin; who are setting out to go down to Mitsrayim, and have not asked My mouth, to be strengthened in the strength of Pharoah, and to seek refuge in the shadow of Mitsrayim!”

For those still walking in darkness; forsake evil and turn away from it. Edify your heart, mind, and soul with the Word of YHWH, for His Torah is Light, righteousness, and truth. Seek YHWH while there is still time and be willing to learn His ways.

Our Messiah Yahshua is truly the Light of the world. He is our prime example of how our walk should reflect His, because He kept the Father’s commandments perfectly and blamelessly. He was the Suffering Servant who fulfilled His mission He was called to do according to the Father’s will, as we also ought to do.

So, as we face our own trials and tribulation, we should also be a light unto others, bearing good fruit while we persevere, staying in the Word, and striving to keep our Heavenly Father’s covenant faithfully.

Ephesians 5:9 “For the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth.”

The good fruit we bear is His light indwelling in every true believer, which is His Torah.

Psalm 119:105 “Your Torah is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Being in darkness is the emblem of ignorance, error, and flat-out denial of Truth. It is a heart condition for those who have become corrupt in their minds. What sorrow awaits those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. They will become like stubble and chaff, finding themselves consumed by the wrath of YHWH!

But, YHWH’s Word gives wisdom and understanding to those who truly seek Him. May His Torah be your delight and His Way a light for your path!

Daniel 12:3 “Those who are wise will shine like brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”

Continue to shine your light unto the nations, like the brightness of the stars forever and ever!  HalleluYAH!
