IS 30:19-21, 23-26
Resilience through faith is what spoke to me in this passage. Everyone experiences challenges, trauma, unexpected loss in life. There can be moments when we feel defeated, down, and hopeless. This passage is a message reminding us that when we speak to God, we are heard and answers are sent. God provided us with all that we need to survive, “the bread you need and the water for your thirst." God provides the tools and resources needed to be successful: “He will give rain for the seed that you sow in the ground, and the wheat that the soil produces will be rich and abundant.” Our wants and desires do not always come in the timing we see fit. However, if we use those tools and resources provided by God, one day we will see the fruits of our efforts and the answers to our prayers: “On that day your flock will be given pasture and the lamb will graze in spacious meadows; the oxen and the asses that till the ground will eat silage tossed to them with shovel and pitchfork.” We must tackle life’s challenges and find resilience through faith, believing that dark days will become bright, and bright days even brighter. “The light of the moon will be like that of the sun and the light of the sun will be seven times greater like the light of seven days,” is the message delivered in the passage. God knows of the resilience that lives inside each of us, and sees us through the journey of life. “The Lord binds up the wounds of his people, he will heal the bruises left by his blows.”
