“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” - Isaiah 58:11 (ESV)
"Be prepared." A lesson well learned long ago for many of us. Now it is time to prepare our world to recover from the shock that has shaken every country on Earth. From global issues to the most local conditions' people are approaching and beginning the effort to “normalize.” We want to restore a sense of equilibrium. We want fear to subside and anxiety to take a back seat, or get out altogether. Is it not accurate to think we have experienced places that have been scorched? But God promises to guide us throughout the process. He promises to meet our desires and He promises to give strength to our bones. We’ve been knocked about a bit and some have really been hurt by the effects of the Pandemic of 2020. Yet we have hope coming from our LORD God. We will enjoy life as a watered garden enjoys fresh spring water. Water that never fails to be available for our needs. This is our promise that God is our fresh spring of water that will never fail to satisfy us. No matter how scorched the places we’ve gone through have been, God has always been with us.
