"Say to
those with fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; behold, your God will come with
vengeance, with the recompense of God; he will come and save you. " Isaiah
35: 4
The book of
Isaiah is an alternation of convictions of sin and confirmation of the healing
grace of the Lord. In one of his words of spiritual encouragement, writes the
prophet: "Tell the bleak heart: be strong, fear not! Your God will come,
will come with vengeance; with divine retribution will come to save them
"(Isaiah 35: 4).
If there is a
feeling that has already invaded all Christians, this is the feeling of
discouragement. In the world we live in, everything conspires against us. Envy
of others, when properly fulfill our tasks. Injustices, as we strive to follow
what is right. Pitfalls of evil, when they want to bring us down. There are
times that makes you want to throw everything away and give up ...
It is especially
among these depressing experiences that our heart must deeply the divine
motivation. The fainthearted should be strong and not fear? Certainly it will
not be the forces that we no longer have. The reason certainly is the resolute
promise of the Lord through the prophet: "Your God will come" and
"will come with vengeance." Isaiah 35: 4. This promise is important,
because the Lord knows our weaknesses in the process of taking the law into our
own hands. The righteousness of the Lord, "with divine retribution, will
come to save them." The Lord helps those of discouraged heart, so "be
strong, do not fear." Isaiah 35: 4
