“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” (Proverbs 29:18). In desperate and discouraging times, it is essential to create a vision of faith for the future. Israel found itself facing tremendous difficulties. The exile was a devastating period in their history and they struggled to see the future in a different light. Could they move beyond their circumstances? Could they see a better future beyond the tremendous difficulties faced in the exile? They could not see a better future, but God cast a vision for His people.

Isaiah 54:1-3
