Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 35:1

"The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose." — Isaiah 35:1 (ASV)

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them;

They shall be so glad that they shall inspire gladness where all was desolation, and brooding, melancholy batswing, and dragon's howl. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them.

And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

God's people are a happy-making people. They are a blessing in themselves, and they will be a blessing to others, until all say, These are the seed that the Lord hath blessed. The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.
