Verse of the Day

"For your waste and desolate places,

And the land of your destruction,

Will even now be too small for the inhabitants;

And those who swallowed you up will be far away,

The children you will have,

After you have lost the others,

Will say again in your ears, 'The place is too small for me;

Give me a place where I may dwell.'

Then you will say in your heart,

"Who has begotten these for me,

Since I have lost my children and am desolate,

A captive, and wandering to and fro?

And who has brought these up?

There I was, left alone;

But these, where were they?'"

Isaiah 49:19-21

This passage spoke to me tonight as I read through Isaiah. It breathes hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. It speaks of life when only death and loss were expected. God truly does make all things new.
