Isaiah’s Use of the Spiritual Hydrological Cycle

hydrological cycle

Hydrogeology is the science of water distribution through the earth. Consider a simple description of the hydrological cycle:

  • Rain falls to the ground, nourishing plants, supplying drinking water, etc..
  • Water seeps into the ground or runs off into creeks and rivers if the ground is saturated.
  • Creeks, rivers and groundwater flow into large bodies of water (lakes, seas, oceans).
  • Water returns to the sky from these large bodies through the process of evaporation.

Hopefully, through time, the stray items no longer show up in the mailbox.

The words were popularized by The Byrds, but it was God’s Spirit that inspired the wise king of Israel to write it. We will focus on this simple yet profound text over the next several weeks.
