He will make her wilderness like Eden.
Isaiah 51:3
"METHINKS, I
see in vision a howling wilderness, a great and 
terrible desert, like to
the Sahara.
--I perceive nothing in it to relieve the eye, all around I
am wearied with a vision of hot and arid sand, strewn with ten thousand
bleaching skeletons of wretched men who have expired in anguish, having
lost their way in the pitiless waste.
--What an appalling sight! How
horrible! a sea of sand without a bound, and without an oasis, a
cheerless graveyard for a race forlorn! But behold and wonder!
--Upon a
sudden, upspringing from the scorching sand I see a plant of renown; and
as it grows it buds, the bud expands—it is a rose, and as the fragrance of
those flowers is diffused the wilderness is transformed into a fruitful
field, and all around it blossoms exceedingly, the glory of Lebanon is
given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon.
--Call it not Sahara,
call it Paradise. Speak not of it any longer as the valley of
deathshade, for where the skeletons lay bleaching in the sun, behold a
resurrection is proclaimed, and up spring the dead, a mighty army, full
of life immortal.
----Jesus is that plant of renown, and His presence makes
all things new. —you are now a prince unto God,
though once an orphan, cast away. O prize exceedingly the matchless
power and grace which changes deserts into gardens, and makes the barren
heart to sing for joy."
Charles Spurgeon
