Verse 5: The Lord's promise to Israel is, that he is their husband and similarly the church is "dead to
the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God" [Romans 7:4].
Verse 6: The Lord has called every believer to rise up from grief - He is a shield and the "the lifter up of our head" [Psalm 3:3, Psalm 84:11].
Verse 7: There are "great mercies" as we turn to the Lord.
Verse 8: Everlasting kindness is ahead, as we come through all the times he hides his face in chastening
[Hebrews 12:11].
Verse 9: We are not appointed to wrath [1 Thessalonians 5:9].
Verse 10: The "kindness" of God, is Never absent in all his dealings with all of his children.
Verse 11: The Lord is ever working to bring all saints from any tossing tempest, onto the solid ground of his will and purpose as we respond to his unbending will [Hosea 13:9].
Verse 12: Blessing to the very extremities of all that pertains to us, as we hand over all to his love and grace
[Romans 8:28].
Verse 13: God's promised blessing on the family unit, is realised through faith in Christ and the home grown reality of his salvation [Acts 16:31].
Verse 14: As we are seeking to be right with the Lord in everything we are established and delivered from oppressive troubles [Psalm 34:17].
Verse 15: "Surely" (as in this verse) we all experience opposition, but there is a counter "surely" that belongs to all who are aligned with him and under his shepherding [Psalm 23:6, 91:3].
Verse 16-17: We are under his 'creation' (2 corinthians 5:17 & Ephesians 2:10) and no "weapon" can succeed to subvert the will of God in the life of a surrendered believer.
Rejoice dear child of God, that the God of Isaiah 54 is the same today and forever. He does not leave alone any dimished saint to any final verdict of failure and emptiness, but beckons us to take courage in repentance and renewed fellowship with him. As with David, who "recovered all" (1 Samuel 30:18) and was lifted up to the highest station in Israel, so this whole chapter of Isaiah and it's precious expression of God's heart toward you can be your absolute confidence and glory!
Thrill in the message of the song and play it again!
God BLESS.
