Today’s Word:Be Strong, Do Not Fear; Your God Will Come
He Will Come To Save You.”

Isaiah 35

Joy of the Redeemed

35 The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus,

2 it will burst into bloom;it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.

3 Strengthen the feeble hands,steady the knees that give way;

4 say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come
he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”

5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

6 Then will the lame leap like a deer and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and stream in the desert.

7 The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

8 And a highway will be there it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it;wicked fools will not go about on it.

9 No lion will be there nor any ravenous beast; they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,

10 and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
