Encouragement
Isaiah 50:10-11
Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light?…


The prophet's word —

I. BIDS THE PENITENT HOPE.

II. BRINGS COMFORT TO THOSE EMBARRASSED BY HONEST INQUIRY.

III. BRINGS COMFORT TO ALL " THE TROUBLED." There are a multitude whose outward or inward troubles produce darkness whatever their character may be. Some, for instance, are troubled by their state of health; it is such as produces a peculiar tendency to gloom. There are others who are troubled with the course of Providence. Others are troubled in soul. Such temptations beset them! Resisted, these renew their attack. Overcome, they rise up afresh to distress them.

(R. Glover, D. D.)
