No Better light - Isaiah 50:10-11

Isaiah 50:10-11 ESV 
Who among you fears the Lord
and obeys the voice of his servant?
 Let him who walks in darkness
and has no light
trust in the name of the Lord
and rely on his God.
 Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
who equip yourselves with burning torches!
Walk by the light of your fire,
and by the torches that you have kindled!
 This you have from my hand:
you shall lie down in torment.

Relying on God for light will bring us through the night. When we light our own torches we tend to burn ourselves and others around us. 

The light of The Lord illuminates the way to God. The torches to rely on are depicted in Revelation before the throne of God.  There is no better light. 


Psalms 111:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

Psalms 128:1-2
Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord
A Song of Ascents.
 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways!
 You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.

Romans 10:3-4
For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Psalms 32:10-11
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
