'The people walking in darkness have seen a great light'

Join me each weekday for a short thought from the Bible to help us listen to what God is saying right now.These are today’s verses:“Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honour Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan –The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy;they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest,as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shatteredthe yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in bloodwill be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire.For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom,establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and for ever.The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”Isaiah 9:1-7The Bible Uncancelled is a reader-supported publication.
