Isaiah 35:4-7a
Say to those who have an anxious heart,
"Be strong, fear not!"
What great words of comfort to the
mourning exiles from Judah.
They had lost their land, and their temple and
the ability to govern themselves.
They are living with despair and
have fallen weak and weary.
They are sorrowful in their very bodies.
Just what is a fearful heart?
What is an anxious heart?
Perhaps we move to this posture
when things are not right in our world.
When we don't see ways of improvement or
there are roadblocks, it can feel like an
overwhelming situation.
Problems press in and pile up.
Just when we are in this very low spot-
then the Lord comes close.
He comes to bring water in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert.
He comes to bring new life.
He comes to breathe into us the gift of joy.
