The LORD makes a way through the sea,
charts a course across the wilderness,
and confuses the plots of the armies.
The LORD God — yes, this is the very one:
who does not leave us alone when storms rage
or without a help when the floodwaters rise,
who pierces with sunlight through the fog
and creates a path in the stars —
this God is able to do a new thing,
for we have seen God build a roaring fire
when night threatened our spirits and we have
stepped into rivers of grace when the world’s infernos
of violence and fear have burned and wearied us.
See what is past and rejoice that you have
come through it this far. Know — o! know deeply,
heart of mine — that what God has done is not over.

on Isaiah 43:16-19a
