Ever since the first sentence of Psalm 37 stopped me short, I've been pondering King David's words. It has become my summer study.

Isaiah Offers Hope in the Hard
In the middle of the โweighty messages from Godโ (oracles) that Isaiah delivers to the nations surrounding Israel (Is 13โ24), he continues to give us glimpses of hopeโGodโs compassion, peace, justice, righteousness, deliverance, salvationโon 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.
