Isaiah Chapter 15

“The waters of Nimrim are dried up and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone and nothing green is left.” v6

This verse gives us a glimpse of what life could be like without the sustainer of life being actively involved in today’s world. The absence of water is the absence of life whether that is in Isaiah’s time or 2009.
Recently while walking around Chichester, we’ve noticed a distinct change in colour... The vibrancy of spring is immense. Lush greens of all shades have appeared from the bleakness of winter. Blue skies and sun, new life and food a plenty. Looking at this verse we see the polar opposite. It occurs to me that without our all loving God who breathes life into everything, who truly is the sustainer of life where might we be? It makes me thankful that His blessing and favour is upon us and we can see it all around!
