Salvation in the Wilderness
Isaiah 35:4-7a
Isaiah 35:4-7a:
4 Say to those who are of a fearful heart,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Here is your God.
He will come with vengeance,
with terrible recompense.
He will come and save you.”
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6 then the lame shall leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.
For waters shall break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
7 the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water.
Queries:
How have I found the strength I needed? How am I finding that strength, now?
How am I experiencing God as here, saving? For what kind of salvation do I hope?
How have I made it difficult for others to participate fully? What has made it difficult for me to participate fully?
How am I experiencing “wilderness” right now and what is sustaining me through it?
