Isaiah 50:9 says, Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Isaiah said that since God was helping him, who could condemn him. If we are doing what God has called us to do, we have no need to be afraid of anyone. As long as we are forgiven by putting our faith in Jesus Christ, there is no one who can ever condemn us. Isaiah said that those who opposed him were about as powerful as an old moth-eaten cloth. Our enemies today as Christians have no power over us spiritually.
\Verse ten adds, Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God. Isaiah asked who were they that feared and obeyed the Lord but yet walked in darkness still and had no light. He then told them if this was the case that they needed to just call on the Lord and keep faith in God. We may walk in a world full of spiritual darkness where it is often hard to see the Light, but as long as we remain true to Jesus Christ, He will always light our way.
Verse eleven continues, Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. This is a warning against trying to provide your own light spiritually. If we are struggling with doubts about God, we should never try to come to an understanding about what He wants from us by our own reasoning power, but we must always wait for God to shine His light on us. False spiritual light is never going to do anything but confuse us even more. In our darkest hour, we need to simply look to Jesus, the only true Light.
