When You’re in the Wilderness

God can transform

Your wilderness.

“The burning sand

Shall become a pool,

And the thirsty ground

Springs of water.” (Isaiah 35:7, ESV)

The scorching adversity

That burns under your feet

“Shall become a pool.”

The arid, dry, emptiness

Within your soul

Will be satisfied with

“Springs of water.”

He doesn’t need to airlift you

To another zip code;

He doesn’t require

A different context to bless you—

God can make any desert

Come to life.

Receive Isaiah’s prophecy personally:

“Your wilderness … shall be glad;

Your desert shall rejoice

And blossom like the crocus;

You shall blossom abundantly

And rejoice with joy and singing.” (Isaiah 35:1-2, ESV)
