THE LORD WHO OPENS A WAY
Thus says the LORD, who opens a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, who leads out chariots and horsemen, and powerful army, till they lie prostrate together, never to rise, snuffed out and quenched like a wick. Remember not the event of the past, the things of long ago consider not; see, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In the desert I make a way, in the wasteland, river. Wild beasts honor me, jackals and ostriches, for I put water in the desert and rivers in the wasteland for my chosen people to drink, the people whom I formed for myself, that they might announce my praise. Isa. 43:16-21 Readings
