In “Hope and God’s Perspective,” Rev. Dr. Sarah Melcher explores how we can find hope during difficult times, especially through trust in God’s immense creative power, as reflected in Isaiah 40:12-14. She reminds us that while human plans and rulers may falter, God’s strength endures and God’s care for creation is everlasting. Drawing parallels to the Israelites’ return from exile, she encourages us to seek hope in nature, community, and small acts of faithfulness while we await God’s justice. Personal reflections on spiritual walks and cultivating a butterfly garden offer tangible examples of finding peace and hope through connection with the natural world.
