Isaiah 35:4 AMPC
Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with the recompense of God He will come and save you.
I'm not a "western" fan, but have had to endure many such movies since a little kid, my dad being an avid watcher (so is my nearest and dearest)!
When all seems lost and the hero is about to die, the cavalry comes charging over the hill, with guns blazing, bugles blaring, to save the day. The hero miraculously survives and the enemy is trounced!
That's fiction...
What about reality? When I'm in the midst of the spiritual desert and nothing seems to change. Perhaps the enemy of my soul has robbed me, beaten me up and left me devastated. What then?
Time for faith to arise...
The verse starts with "SAY"... speak out my faith, be an encourager... there are others going through the exact same experience of fear and doubt.
Start SAYING out loud what God has promised - His Help is predestined and absolutely assured.
Every Word of prophecy has been or will be fulfilled - to the letter.
God is faithful to His Word.
Especially read and know what The Word says about Jesus' Return, because this world is in a mess. Injustice and deception is happening on a mega scale.
Without the promise of deliverance, my heart would despair.
That's why reading and absorbing the precious promises of God in the Bible is so crucial to my desert survival.
It's like carrying a canteen of "Living Water" and sharing it with others who are parched, dry and thirsty.
Share those promises of Divine Intervention - of putting wrongs to right and meting out justice for the oppressed.
Knowing that God's Word will prevail gives strength for today.
Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with the recompense of God He will come and save you...
Help really IS on the way.
