—Isaiah 54:4-8
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
God continued to reassure Israel that their captivity and exile would not go on forever. The shame that had come with what seemed like total rejection by God was going to cease. God desire for their humiliation to end. He planned to love them like a husband loves his wife. God would redeem His people because He is almighty. Israel had been rejected, but God was going to call them back and put an end to their disgrace. He acknowledged that He had turned away from them, but He will now treat them with compassion and kindness. What a privilege to know that when we are in Christ, God never turns His back on us but loves us eternally.
