What do you reach for first when life suddenly falls apart?In Isaiah 28–34, God repeatedly confronts His people for placing their confidence in everything except Him—political alliances, military strength, worldly wisdom, and their own plans. Yet woven through every warning is an astonishing invitation:"In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." (Isaiah 30:15)In today's episode of The Dwelling Place, we'll discover that God's heart has never been merely to judge His people but to restore them.
