Sometimes life can feel like a desert land - a wilderness experience with no relief in sight. Isaiah 35:1-10 is a prophetic announcement of joy that overshadows our exhaustion, anxiety and fear and chases away our deepest sorrow. It isn’t fabricated or temporary, it isn’t found in fleeting things or circumstances. It’s a permanent, unshakeable joy rooted in the promise of God’s arrival – and we’re invited into it.
