The Desert Shall Bloom
The desert shall rejoice and blossom;
it shall rejoice with gladness and singing.
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed:
and the majesty of our God.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - From the ends of the earth
5Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you from east and west, 6from north and south. I will bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the farthest corners of the earth. 7All who claim me as their God will come, for I have made them for my glory; I created them.
. . . . .Isaiah 43:5-7Intercession
