What Does Job 38:27 Mean?
The purpose of rain on the wilderness is named: to satisfy the desolate and waste ground and to call forth the tender bud of new grass. God brings life to places that appeared dead and forsaken, making the barren ground green.
Here is a parable of grace. God delights to satisfy what is desolate and to raise tender life where there seemed only waste. The heart that feels dry and forsaken is exactly the ground his mercy loves to water. He who makes the wilderness bud can cause new and tender hope to spring up in lives that thought their season of growth was over.
