Isaiah Offers Hope in the Hard

In the middle of the โ€œweighty messages from Godโ€ (oracles) that Isaiah delivers to the nations surrounding Israel (Is 13โ€“24), he continues to give us glimpses of hopeโ€”Godโ€™s compassion, peace, justice, righteousness, deliverance, salvationโ€”on his people, his handiwork, his inheritance.

Hopeless

My devotional asks me, "What can I do to relieve the fears of others?" I am stopped short. I have been exacerbating fears, not relieving them.
