"And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."
Isaiah 8:22
A couple of verses before this it talks about people that have "no light in them," so they can't see the truth, and I think the culmination of that is here, when it talks about them being "driven to darkness." Perhaps driving themselves to darkness because they can't see the light, or perhaps being deceived into it... also because they can't see/feel/understand/know the light. I think the point here is that we need to cleave to the light of God with everything that we are.
Today, if we are feeling surrounded by darkness, within or without, let's remember that God is the truth, and that He is light, and then let's kneel and humbly pray for God's help in being able to see the light again... the light of Christ, of hope, of faith... of goodness, so that we can see God's path and walk in it. Darkness and dimness--despair, hopelessness--that is the deception, and if we turn to God he will show us the hope, help us to see with new eyes and a better perspective, and guide us all to our potential and to eternal happiness. :) Let's choose light.
