there is no soundness

"Your whole head is injured,
your heart afflicted.
From the sole of your foot
to the top of your head
there is no soundness --
only wounds and bruises
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged
or soothed with oil."
-Isaiah 1:5-6

Is this you?

Do you feel broken and bruised? Battered by life and its storms?

"Stop trusting in man,
who has but a breath in his nostrils.
Of what account is he?"
-Isaiah 2:22

The God of hope will "fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him." - Romans 15:13

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." - Psalm 91:1

He "will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding-place from the storm and rain." - Isaiah 4:6

"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." - Isaiah 1:18

God, the God of hope, will not leave you to be battered by life, he will not leave you broken and bruised. Come to him and let him treat your wounds, the sore places in your heart, and rest in Him.

The shelter he gives us cannot be ripped away, all we have to do is dwell in the shelter he provides.


"Come, O house of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the LORD."
-Isaiah 2:5



Will you come and rest in Him with me? He promises to be like cool refreshing water to our weary and parched souls (see Isaiah 58:11).
