Isaiah 54:11-13 - Afflcited city lashed by storms

54:11,12

We continue with the relational and emotional theme. God knows how the Israelites feel. When people have been through traumatic events, God knows how they feel. He knew that Israel felt like a city continually afflicted and receiving no comfort. His response is that He will rebuild the city with the finest of stones, even with precious stones. Even her battlements will be made with rubies. She will become a glorious place.

54:13

When disaster strikes it is usually the children who suffer the most, and they are deprived of a future. God’s promise is that they will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace. It is only when we receive the Lord’s instruction, and we accept the Lord’s instruction (instead of rebelling against it) that we find true peace.
