This message from our Northern Lights series reminds us that darkness lies to us, but God’s Word brings clarity and hope. Isaiah 45 shows that God was writing Israel’s victory 200 years before their darkest moment, even using a pagan king to accomplish His purposes. In the same way, God is always working behind the scenes in our lives—preparing, guiding, and redeeming. Our suffering is temporary, our victory is already written, and Scripture is the light we cling to when everything feels uncertain. Even in the darkest seasons, God has not forgotten us, and He often reveals things in the dark we could never see in the light.
