4:6 ‘..a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.’
#JourneyIsaiah
This is a short Chapter
and, for the first time since the beginning of Isaiah, there is a hint of hope
and consolation – at least for the remainder and the ‘survivors’. The ‘Canopy’ covers a multitude and offers a
refuge or hiding place.
It is bread for the
soul, mind and body. Isaiah speaks (as do other biblical authors) of a cloud by
day and a fire by night. There are times when it is not possible to see beyond
the next car on the motorway. A little fire
lights up our way. That fire is the God’s Word planted deep within each one of
us no matter how far we have wandered.
There are times and
places where we need to take refuge. Quiet spots of restful letting go.
