The branch of the Lord will be luster and glory,
and the fruit of the earth will be honor and splendor
for the survivors of Israel.
—Isaiah 4:2
After the long winter months, the prophet Isaiah
speaks of an amazing springtime. Then the trees of
the forest that have withstood the frosts and gales
will begin to reveal what they truly are. What will
be the blossoms and fruits of human life on this
planet? Dare we trust this promise that, in God’s
hands, the fruits will be beauty and glory, reflecting
the image of the Creator, and that the darkest hours
we experience are truly cultivating God’s springtime?
Isaiah 4:2–6
Psalm 122
Matthew 8:5–11
