Got Darkness?

"Let him who walks in the dark
who has no light,
trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
But now, all you who light fires
and provide yourselves with flaming torches,
go, walk in the light of your fires
and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:
You will lie down in torment.
~ Isaiah 50:10-11

Can you relate to these verses? Have you ever been at a place where you just didn't know the next step? What did you do?
We are supposed to trust in the LORD when we have no idea what to do... because he can see in the dark! Lazer eyes!!! And what's more - He loves us and wouldn't let us trip over something if we are trusting in him. We were in kind of a situation like this when we were moving to Colorado... and didn't have a house.

BUT sometimes we don't trust God and what do we do? We try to find a way for ourselves. We light torches that honestly don't work very well. If we keep trying to use our homemade torch to see the end - we'll surely trip. While the whole time, God is waiting to give us direction!

It sounds so easy - trust completely in God and he will make everything work out. But why is it so hard to do?
