TOPIC: The Flowering Wilderness
OPENING PRAYER: May my heart, O Lord, be receptive to your word as I meditate on it.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 35:1-10
QUESTION FOR REFLECTION
• Q 4: Is there any promise for me to believe or hope for?
MESSAGE: As the situation in the world deteriorates, there is the tendency to think that things will never change for the better. There is a bright future for the people of God. This chapter depicts the future glory of Zion. Notice what will happen to the wilderness and the wasteland of Zion (vs.1 & 2). Our God is able to turn a wasteland into a green land and vice versa. He controls all the laws of nature and can withhold rain or send it at His pleasure. He has the whole world in His hands.
This is the reason those who are faint-hearted should claim the promise in v.4. God is going to reorder events and bring life to the desert and create a highway, a new life, for the redeemed. Note the characteristics of this highway in vs 8-10. There is a glorious and joyful future for all whom the Lord has rescued (v.9). We have the mission to enthrone the King of kings in the hearts of people in all nations.
For Further Study
For further study: Read Psalm 126: 5-6, and Revelation 21: 4-5.
