Israel is waiting for the God of salvation. The word darkness here is likened to sitting in a dungeon without any light, and is filled with misery, and suffering. But the one thing the prophet Micah had was hope. He wasn’t looking at the present dire circumstances around him but rather focusing on God’s blessings…as seen in II Samuel 22:29, “You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light.” So today, if you’re waiting in the darkness…know that there is hope in the future, and the light of the Lord will bring clarity, order, and understanding.
