deer in Isaiah 35
DEER
This creature shows up in Isaiah 35:6: “Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 35:6
“Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.”
What kids can learn
When you hear deer in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 35:6 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
