* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

The contrast between Isaiah 34 and 35


Isaiah 34 (Judgment) [Hell]

Isaiah 35 (Salvation) [Heaven]

Trusting the world/self

Trusting God

Becomes a desert

Becomes a garden

No way (34:10)

A highway (35:8)

Destruction and desolation

Restoration and renewal

The power of the Gentiles will be broken

The redeemed will see the kingdom of God

God's wrath against the nations

God's glory transforming Zion

God, not the world, is the one to fear

God, not the world, is the one to hope in
