Isaiah 35:1 (KJV)
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Isaiah 35:1–2 (ESV)
The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing…
Song of Solomon 2:1 (ESV)
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
Hosea 14:5–6 (ESV, adapted for floral imagery)
I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root… His beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
And so we believe, trust, rely, and adore
the promises of our Triune God
and thus bloom like roses!
