Journey to the Never-Dried-Up Well #8

I have begun reading Isaiah to re-encounter Jesus who shall soon suffer, die and rise triumphant.

In my younger days, I dreaded touching the pages of prophetic writ; all that fire, fierce anger, judgment...

But now, I have lived longer and I see how accurate the words are.

The contrast in  -

judgment and mercy

anger and longing

desolation and life

destruction and perfection.

Soul, it is easy to feel lost in our world of contrasts.

It is easy to feel wedged between the hard places of our many burdens and our need for rest.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the sights, sounds and suggestions.

It is easy to lose our way, to become alarmed, to be fearful.

Today on our journey, we drink with a song -

true to the Word, filled with images true to our world, and yet carried by a peaceable, anointed melody;

to wash you over and may these closing words of the prophet bring you strength ~

"I will extend peace to her like a river..." {Isaiah 66v12}
