Third Isaiah is thought to be that part of Isaiah that begins with chapter 56 and runs to the end of the Isaiah passages (Chapter 66). This author wrote after the exile had ended and the people had returned to the land. They came back timid and unclear of their role or responsibility. They came back wondering about their future.
This is something that is easy to understand. When your life has been uprooted how do you get yourself back together? When everything that you had is lost how do you get back to find who you are?
Anyone who had been in a disastrous situation understands this. People who were in the 9-11 bombings and survived could tell us much about how to overcome when you have been overwhelmed. The apartment fire here in Fort Collins has put some people out of their home environment. They will struggle with how to pick up the pieces of their lives and move one. Some who have had major surgery will understand what it means to get back on the road to recovery.
Has it happened to you and if so what suggestions to you have? Have you ever had to pick up your life and start over? I'd love to hear from you. Write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net. If you are willing to share your thoughts with the readers of the blog click on the box below.
