Summary
And even God in his wrath, there is a beauty to it because you see the unchanging, unswerving nature with regard to God, God's abhorrence with regard to sin, God's faithfulness to his word. Interestingly, you've got 66 books in Isaiah and really it's a little, a little Bible because you've got, remember, 39 books in the Old Testament. When you think of the deserts of your life or the difficult times of your life, always look for the flower because the flower of God's grace and his promises will come forth. Here, back to the use of desert in terms of judgment and sin, here indeed we have these beautiful flowers that are emerging and they oftentimes emerge suddenly. Indeed, this is but one example of indeed where we read in Scripture about a kingdom that doesn't exist and a king in the kingdom that doesn't yet exist that are going to release the people, and here's the king that's going to do it. Because there are always flowers and there's always God's grace, even amongst the most difficult times in life.
