‘Abandoned…
deserted… a wasteland…’ (Isaiah 32:14). Lord, we read these words, and
we wonder,”Can such a desperate situation be turned around?” Your answer
is “Yes!” - When ‘the Spirit is poured upon us from on high… the
wilderness becomes a fruitful field’ (Isaiah 32:15). Help us not to lose
heart. May we keep on calling on You. Help us to keep on believing
that You, Lord, are able to turn things around. When the situation seems
hopeless, help us to put our trust in You, ‘the God of hope.’ Help us
to keep on praying that You will send Your blessing: ‘May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power
of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope’ (Romans 15:13).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
