—Isaiah 54:6-17
by: Grace Crouch.
God has seemed absent to the nation of Israel for a time. Because of their sin, He had lifted His hand of blessing and allowed devastating times. He said that it was only for a moment compared to His everlasting kindness. Look at all the ways God compared their unsteady and troubling times to the steady future He had prepared. He uses words like gather, foundations, walls, peace, righteousness, and heritage in contrast to forsaken, tempest, depart, removed, afflicted, and terror. Reread verses 16 and 17 and consider the spiritual weapons formed against you that cannot prosper because of your heritage in the Lord.
