To the upright there ariseth light in darkness, Psal. 18.28. The Lord will light my Candle; as if David had said, My comforts at present they seem to be blown out, and I am in the dark; but the Lord will light my Candle, and will cause light to arise. There is a twofold light that God causes ⟨p. 134⟩to arise in his people in the dark.
First, An outward light.
Secondly, An inward light.
First, An outward light shines, that is, God doth oftentimes cause the light of prosperity to arise upon his people; that is, a light in darkness. When God causes peace and prosperity in the Tabernacles of the righteous, here is light riseth in darkness, Job 29.3. When his Candle shineth upon my head; the Candle, that is, the Candle of prosperity; a Lamp, that is, outward blessings. God hath on a sudden altered the Scene of Providence; and on a sudden turned the shadows of death into the light of the morning.
