“Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His servant? Let the one who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.” Isaiah 50:10
The scene
A voice rises in the assembly — not scolding, but searching. “Who among you…?” Not because Jah is unsure, but because Jah wants the one who trembles, the one who listens, the one who trusts in the dark, to know he is seen. A lone figure steps forward in the shadows — not with confidence, but with honesty. And Jah nods, as if to say, “I know you. I knew you were here.”
Lexical Brief
- יִבְטַח (yivtach) — to trust, to lean your full weight.
- יִשָּׁעֵן (yisha’en) — to rely, to be supported, to rest on a sure strength.
- שׁוֹמֵר (shōmēr) — the Keeper, the One whose ongoing action is to guard, attend, preserve.
The Tension & The Comfort
The Tension: You walk without light, uncertain of the next stone, unsure if your fear disqualifies you.
The Comfort: But the question is the comfort — Jah calls out because He already sees you. And the Keeper who knows your name keeps your way.
The HONEY DROP (the Nectar)
Jah asks “Who?” not to expose you, but to name you. The one who fears, obeys, trusts, and leans — Jah knows that guy exists. And the Shōmēr keeps him still.
May the One who asks “Who among you?” remind you that He already knows. May your trust find its footing, your leaning find its strength, and your darkness find a Keeper who never sleeps.
