The Light Shines in the Darkness

UV 3505/10000 The Light Shines in the Darkness

For in fact, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness will cover the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory and brilliance will be seen on you.

Isaiah 60 v 2


Yes, it is a fact that the current global pandemic has brought darkness upon the earth, deep darkness upon all nations. The uni-verse distinguishes between darkness and deep darkness. Darkness is what comes from ignorance and deep darkness is wilful evil or wanton commission or omission of that which is evil. But in this uni-verse, the Lord promises to rise upon us like the noonday sun in the full effulgence of His glory and brilliance. President Trump tweeted that the Covid 19 virus is too “brilliant for antibiotics” but it is not too brilliant for the people of faith. It is not our successes and triumphs that raise us up as a city of light for the world covered with darkness but it is our trials and tribulations that lead to our elevations and for the strength, grace and wisdom of the Lord to rise in us.



Several powers and super powers of this contemporary world have been bested by the little virus but the Lord promises whether in big (challenges) or little (ones), He is with us and the glory of His deliverance, His protecting hand, His healing hand, His victorious right hand will be seen by all. Like a tiny mosquito will be destroyed if it approaches near a basin of boiling water, the Lord is in our midst as a glorious fire that destroys anything that approaches. He is the Victor who will not allow any vector or virus to hector us.

When we are not lukewarm but red hot for God, His glory and brilliance will certainly be manifest in many ways in the course of our days. His footprint will be in our homes as a sign that He will defend us. His light will shine through everything we do and attempt. Darkness of ignorance, blindness, wilful evil cannot comprehend, cannot contain, cannot restrain the Light of Jesus. We may not succeed in everything we do but we will succeed in pointing people to see the invisible invincible without fearing the lethal invisible.
