During this season of Lent, Alongside Hope offers a guide for daily reflections, Living into God's Dream by Jonathan Rowe. For this week, please read Isaiah 42. 1-9 found on page 55 of Living into God's Dream.
*Reflection:
In a world that celebrates power and dominance, it’s hard to believe that the Servant’s gentle approach can counter the powers of darkness. It may feel impractical to confront injustice with humility and tenderness. But Isaiah’s dream is transformative precisely because it insists that meaningful change begins with compassion and presence. Justice comes through healing, through refusing to abandon the vulnerable, and through quietly enduring strength.
