Exhaustion comes in many forms. Exhaustion from parenting toddlers. Exhaustion as a status symbol. Collective pandemic exhaustion. Exhaustion from malnutrition. Exhaustion from war.
The prophet Isaiah spoke to an exhausted and weary people, their spirits worn from years of war and exile. His task: to assure them of who God is - of God the everlasting Creator who has never abandoned God's people. Isaiah calls to his community saying, we cannot - and are not - doing this alone. Trust in God. Find rest for your soul. You are not alone. God will make a way even when it feels like there is no way.
Turns out we still need to hear this message today.
