"Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? 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 set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment." - Isaiah 50:10-11So lets all take a minute and admire the pure beauty of the word of God. Then, look deeper into what God is saying.
How I take it, and there are probably a lot more ways to look at it, but I see it as God saying that we can follow our own path, or "walk in the light of our fires and the torches we have set ablaze." One thing I've learned of God is that He will not force us. He obviously has given us the choice to choose our own path ever since the garden. I've seen so many people try to find life by lighting their own torches and doing it their own way. And most of that is because they want to try to show God that they can do it on their own.
We cannot live by trying to find our own way, it will end in disaster. We must follow God's light that he provides through Jesus Christ. There is no other way.
