Isaiah is rich in God's restoration of His people, the Church. As you read through Isaiah 54:4-6 you can see what our inheritance was as a result of dealing with Satan! In Christ, there's no disgrace or humiliation. In the world, dealing with the enemy and living by the dictates of the carnal nature, there's only humiliation and disgrace. In Christ, God causes us to forget all about that. He becomes like a husband to us. In the world, out of the will of God, and out of covenant with Him, we are like deserted wives; let down, shame, and disappointed by the enemy & self. The following verses tell us who God is and what he will do for us. So even though we may have experienced shame, rejection, disappointment, scorn,abandonment, disgrace and so on, God can and will turn all of that around when we come to Him (when we're born again). Now let me say this, just because this is a reality & truth it does not just "appear" in our lives. We must know this, accept and agree with what he says and apply it to our lives. Ask the Lord to give you the strength through revelation to apply this promise to your life. I will be speaking more on this is the next few blogs, so stay tuned!
Isaiah 54:4-6
[4] Do not be afraid—you will not be disgraced again; you will not be humiliated. You will forget your unfaithfulness as a young wife, and your desperate loneliness as a widow. [5] Your Creator will be like a husband to you— the Lord Almighty is his name. The holy God of Israel will save you— he is the ruler of all the world. [6] Israel, you are like a young wife, deserted by her husband and deeply distressed.
