—Isaiah 26:1-6
by: Angie Osborn.
My Bible entitles this section in Isaiah, "A Song of Praise." I can almost imagine Nehemiah singing a song like this passage. This song speaks of a strong city, built on the Lord. That must have been exactly what Nehemiah imagined as he looked at the city of Jerusalem and saw it not for what it was-a broken down, desolate mess-but for what it could be-a strong city, built on the Lord! Wasn't that what God always intended for it to be? God is a God of strength with the power to heal and repair.
