50:10
The gospel call is a call issued to those living in darkness. Notice also that here we are called upon to"obey the voice of His servant". We think of a servant as being one who is subservient, but God's servant is one with authority. We see that in the gospels Jesus had authority and expected to be obeyed. If we have no light then the solution is to "trust in the name of the Lord and rely on His God". We should also note that the gospel call is fundamentally a call to the lost. Jesus came to dsave the lost.
50:11
While all of us should trust in the Lord, most choose to trust in something else, even anything else. They kindle their own torches. God has severe words for such people. He says "if you want to follow your own way then do so, but the consequences will be dire". You shall lie down in torment. People fear that God will stop people going their own way, what we should really fear is that God does let us go out own way.
