Isaiah 50:10 “…If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the Lord and rely on your God.”
One of the greatest gifts God gave to mankind was the gift of the Holy Spirit. God knew that we would be walking in darkness in this world. He wanted us to hear His voice from within, and for believers that is the voice of the Holy Spirit. He lives and breathes in every believer so that we can know that we are saved. There is so much more that He does for us, too.
