‘ Never again will they be hungry. Never again will they be thirsty. The sun will not beat down on them.’( Isaiah 49:10) The heat of the desert will not harm them.
They will not get hungry or thirsty. The heat from the desert sun will not beat down on them. The God who has tender love for them will guide them. Like a shepherd, he will lead them beside springs of water.
You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night. You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness. You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.A thousand may fall dead at your side. Ten thousand may fall near your right hand. But no harm will come to you.You will see with your own eyes how God punishes sinful people.Suppose you say,“ The Lord is the one who keeps me safe.” Suppose you let the Most High God be like a home to you.Then no harm will come to you. No terrible plague will come near your tent.
