#soap # Isaiah 06 ## Title: Light Shines Best in Dark Places ## Scripture: (Isaiah 6:1) “In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw the Lord seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his robe filled the temple.” (NET) ## Observation: Over and over, God’s Word shows us that God is always moving. Losing a king in Old Testament times is a big deal. You never know what a new king will do and how he will lead. King Uzziah had also had moments of being a really good king. What will happen now? In the middle of this doubt and grief, Isaiah sees his true king. He not only sees the true King, he is given the honor of carrying the King’s message to Israel. All of this didn’t happen in times of joy. Isaiah saw the light of God’s glory during a dark season of life. This means we should never see dark seasons only as bad times meant to be endured. We can see them as opportunities to see God more clearly. When we get all the distractions out of the way and get serious with God, He always shows Himself strong to us. ## Application: When in the dark, focus on finding the light of God’s goodness. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being there.
