Isaiah 54:1-10
Desolate woman has spiritual children much more than who has a husband.
Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent churtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen our stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess (to put (a person) out of possession) nations and settle in their desolate cities.
You will forget the shame of your youth and remember not more the reproach of your widowhood. For the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed.
Why?
God pledges himself in tender, unswerving, enduring love to his people. Though 'mountains and hills may cruble' God's love for them will never end.
In peace and security the foundations of a new and dazzling city are laid.
The vision in these later chapters of Isaiah goes far beyond the events of the actual return from exile.
The restoration of Israel which took place then merges into a vision of the final glorious day when sin and sorrow will be nor more, and the whole Israel of God.
Don't let the shame of my youth bind me, the Lord Almight is my God, my redeemder, be strong, do not fear, enlarge and stretch my tent, my area, do not hold back, go forward.
Unfailing love is always with me from the Lord! Turn to right and left, is the Lord will bless me whereever I go.
How?
To be a nobal man, go forward with faith and blessing of the Lord. To preach the gospel and honor God's name. It is not what I can do, but the Lord can do through me.
