The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
Isaiah begins this text by assuring believers that the Lord will guide us in the only way He knows and has demonstrated and that is in an always manner. Isn't that good news?
Even as the text suggests our needs will be satisfied in an area of life that's hard to maintain. A sun-scorched land is a land that admittedly would be hard to maintain. But so is a snow covered land also hard to maintain.
Nevertheless in the midst of these two extremes it is absolutely good to know that our God has promised to guide us and at the same time satisfy our needs both for today and tomorrow.
He promises that even in a hard to maintain sun-scorched land, believers will be an example of a well-watered garden; just like an ever-flowing stream that will never experience the reality of being dry.
Think about it, how easy would it be to be dry in a sun-scorched land?
What is the probability of the children of God experiencing dryness while being in a sun-scorched land if God is leading us?
