Isaiah 2:5 O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Chapter 2 begins with bringing a wonderful image to mind: upon the highest mountain shall sit the Lord’s house, and every nation will head towards it to be together in the Lord’s presence. And no nation shall “raise a sword against another (v4)” and it will be peaceful. How wonderful would that be? It definitely seems like something only in a dream.
He is calling us to do that now, though. He tells us to come. He is calling us to walk in his light. He wants us to get our lives in order, and follow God’s ways. We need to live our lives according to his commandments. Not next week, not tomorrow, but today. Today we need to examine ourselves to see what is pulling us from his light. What things or situations to we need to remove ourselves from, what people do we need to remove from our lives? What fears do we need to let go of? What mistakes do we need to ask forgiveness for?
There is nothing that is greater than light. Darkness is only the absence of light. Do not let the darkness shame you or guilt you into thinking you are not worthy of his light. You (and I ) have to right to enjoy walking in his light beginning right now. Let’s enjoy his blessings.
