Fear thou not;
for I am with thee:
be not dismayed;
for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.
- Isaiah 41:10
There is always hope in Jesus. He will find and gather us and those we love.
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."
Isaiah 40:11
Jesus is the great hope of Isaiah. The Lord gathers and restores. I love the imagery of Isaiah 35:1, that a desert will rejoice and blossom. Yes, this prophecy may be fulfilled in the Saints' populating the Intermountain West, but I have also seen it fulfilled in the desert of my heart and the hearts of so many others who now rejoice and blossom because of Jesus Christ.
"The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose."
Isaiah 35:1
