You Shall Bloom in the Desert


“The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing.  The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon.  They shall see the glory of the LORD, the excellency of our God.  Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.  Say to those who are fearful-hearted, ‘Be strong, do not fear!  Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.’  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.  Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing.  For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.”
Isa. 35:1-6


This miraculous passage of Scripture provides an amazing promise from God:  the desert will rejoice and blossom as the rose; blossoming abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing.  The desert place will receive the same recognition and treatment as the beautiful places of Lebanon, Carmel, and Sharon.  Whatever is in the desert shall see the glory and excellency of God.  God is coming – to the weak, the feeble, and the fearful.  He will save them!  The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the lame will leap, and the dumb will sing.  Waters will burst forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Do you feel like you are in the desert?  If so, the Lord has something to say to you.  Out of the desert will come great and beautiful things!  Miracles will occur in a wasteland.  The Lord is coming to meet you in the desert - He is on His way!  He will come and save you.  Be strong, do not fear.  Your eyes will be opened, your ears shall be opened.  Behold, your Savior lives and He is coming to you.  Water are bursting forth now in the desert.
