Monday evening news

Evening encouragement!

"Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days.
  The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses.
Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers
  and singing and joy!
The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon,
  as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon.
There the LORD will display his glory,
  the splendor of our God.
With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands,
  and encourage those who have weak knees.
Say to those with fearful hearts,
  'Be strong, and do not fear,
for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.
  He is coming to save you.'"

Isaiah 35:1–4

No matter what kind of wasteland your life has become, God is able to make it blossom with an abundance of flowers. Picture it! A wasteland transformed into a lush meadow of colorful spring flowers. God can do that! Tell your fearful heart this good news. Tell it, "be strong, do not fear." God is coming in, and when he enters the scene, his light chases away all the darkness and causes beautiful growth.
