"Pass through thy land as a river...." Isaiah 23:10
The prediction of the destruction of Tyre is uttered by the prophet and the are people encouraged to take heed and save their lives.
God is righteous even as He is patient. At times we mistake His longsuffering, for inaction or toleration towards our wrongdoing. When judgement does come from God, it comes swiftly and like the waters of a raging river it will affect everything and all concerned. The Lord is merciful however and even in judgement He holds our best interests at heart, desiring to save us. Though difficult circumstances are allowed to flood our lives, His intent is to give us an opportunity to humble ourselves and repent. He wants to bring us closer to Him and in a place where again we will heed His voice and directions, and restore relationship with Him. When we feel devastated by life's trials and our comforts are washed away, let us quickly turn back to God and hold onto the One who is a sure foundation and anchor, for He will save and He will pardon.
