It’s funny how things that are so close to us can also be the very things that we don’t see.

And yet we so often miss seeing God in our world because we simply forget to look
Isaiah tells us that God is doing a new thing. God is bringing order to the chaos of our wilderness life. God is bringing water to thirsty places. Wherever we see hungry people being fed, homeless people being given shelter, anxious souls finding comfort, warring nations finding peace – God is there.
