Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Two questions. Who is the king? Who is "a man."
The king, I think, is Hezekiah. Or, any great, righteous leader in the church age. A man, I think, is Jesus, before his first coming. And here, even as the Messiah not yet come, he is a source of strength to the Hebrews in Isaiah's time, or a righteous leader in the church age.
The lesson
We do have a source of comfort in troubled times, when tempests blow, when water is scarce, when we are weary with the cares of life. Jesus Christ....
