Reflection: Finding Light in the Midst of Darkness.

Imagine a small village where, for weeks, a dense fog had settled, hiding the sun and making it nearly impossible to see. The villagers stumbled through their days cautiously, unsure of the path ahead. Then, one morning, a bright lantern was lit at the village centre. Its light spread through the fog, guiding people safely and giving hope once again.

This is the power of God’s light in our lives. Isaiah spoke these words to a people surrounded by despair—threats, injustice, and uncertainty loomed over them. Yet God promised a light that would break through the darkness. This prophecy points us ultimately to Jesus, the Light of the World, who enters even the darkest situations to bring hope, clarity, and life.

Even in our own times of uncertainty, fear, or grief, God’s light is present. He illuminates the path, guides our steps, and gives courage to keep moving forward. Darkness is not the end; it is the backdrop against which God’s light shines most brilliantly.
