And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—
secret riches.
I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name. Isaiah 45:3
I just became aware of this verse last week, but it is so very rich and full of hope. How many of us have faced the darkness of life, whether it be a loss of some kind, disappointment and depression or sheer hopelessness. But this verse reminds us that even in the darkness treasures can be found if we look for them.
God wants us to seek and search for these treasures so they will add richness to our lives. But they are only for those who are in an intimate relationship with Him. Our relationship with Him is what gives us the ability to even see the benefits and gifts of the darkness. Like a light piercing through to bring insight and revelation into the issues of life.
If you’re in a dark place now or when you are there in the future, just remember there are hidden treasure there, that are waiting for you to find so to bring light into the your situation. And once you find them, they will not only give you the answers you need, but deepen your relationship with Jesus.
