Smooths

 "They shall not hunger or thirst, He will guide them by springs of water," Isaiah 49:10.

Jehovah God, the Redeemer of Israel, the Holy One of Israel has chosen you. You, who? You, deeply despised, you, abhorred, you, slave of rulers. You, who? Well, on the one hand, you, Israel personified. On the other hand, you, followers of Christ. On the other hand, you, Christ. God answers you. God helps you. God keeps you. God calls you, Come out of prison. God calls you, Come out of darkness. God provides food. God protects. From scorching wind. From striking sun. God eases the mountain path. God smooths out the road. God brings his own home, from the north. And home, from the west. And home, from far away. God comforts his people. God has compassion on his afflicted. The sky kingdom bursts into our world.

Therefore. With a brother or sister, today, we break out in song. We exult. Together we give thanks alongside the skies, the earth, the mountains. Blessing.
