—Isaiah 64:6-12
by: Dale Rood.
Are we ever in such a hopeless condition that God cannot restore what was lost? The people of Israel were feeling very hopeless in the land of Babylon with their own land destroyed. The interesting thing is that their condition caused them to throw themselves upon God for his mercy and for hope. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt there was no hope because you had gone too far? How might these verses offer encouragement to you or anyone in that condition?
