I will put in the desert
the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers in the wasteland,
the fir and the cypress together,
20 so that people may see and know,
may consider and understand,
that the hand of the Lord has done this,
that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
If yesterday brought God’s supernatural (and abundant) provision to our attention, as the passage flows on we see His supernatural work in the world, for His glory. When God does things which would not normally/naturally happen, people take note and recognise that something out of the ordinary is happening. It is obvious that people could not be responsible for it, and it causes them to think deeply.
How the world needs to be able to see a church they cannot explain in merely human terms: church services that cause them to ”…fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!” (1 Corinthians 14:25).
