ISAIAH 32:15-20 NLT 

Until at last the Spirit is poured out 

   on us from heaven. 

Then the wilderness will become a fertile field, 

   and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops. 

Justice will rule in the wilderness 

   and righteousness in the fertile field. 

And this righteousness will bring peace. 

   Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever. 

My people will live in safety, quietly at home. 

   They will be at rest. 

Even if the forest should be destroyed 

   and the city torn down, 

the Lord will greatly bless his people. 

   Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up. 

   Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely. 

Beautiful words of hope - These verses are in response to what the writer describes just before as - 

For your land will be overgrown with thorns and briers. 

Your joyful homes and happy towns will be gone. 

Is there a place in your life where you feel like your land is over grown with thorns and briers. Your joyful homes and happy towns are gone. 

ISAIAH 32:15-20 

Until at last the Spirit is poured out 

   on us from heaven. 

Then the wilderness will become a fertile field, 

   and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops. 

Justice will rule in the wilderness 

   and righteousness in the fertile field. 

And this righteousness will bring peace. 

   Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever. 

My people will live in safety, quietly at home. 

   They will be at rest. 

Even if the forest should be destroyed 

   and the city torn down, 

the Lord will greatly bless his people. 

   Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up. 

   Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely. 

Life brings us all ups and downs. When we are down, it can feel permanent. 

Focus on these words from this passage - 

And this righteousness will bring peace. 

   Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever. 

This same verse from the Message says it this way 

Right will build a home in the fertile field. 

And where there’s Right, there’ll be Peace 

What would it mean for you today to live right? Is there one thing you can think of that you can just do the right thing? 

Let’s pray together: “Father, thank you for this reminder that you rebuild all things. I pray for those areas of my life where it feels like my land is overgrown with thorns. Please bring your peace, healing and righteousness. Help me to day after day just do the right thing for your sake believing that you will make all things right. As above so below.”
