June 29, 2026, Isaiah 54:1-17
54 “Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;
break forth into singing
and cry aloud,
you who have not been in
labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than the children of her
who is married,” says the Lord.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of
your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your
stakes.
3 For you will spread abroad to the right and to the
left,
and your offspring will
possess the nations
and will people the
desolate cities.
4 “Fear not, for you
will not be ashamed;
be not confounded, for you
will not be disgraced;
for you will forget the shame of your youth,
and the reproach of your
widowhood you will remember no more.
5 For your Maker is your husband,
the Lord of hosts is his name;
and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
the God of the whole earth
he is called.
6 For the Lord has
called you
like a wife deserted and
grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
says your God.
7 For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion
I will gather you.
8 In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like the
days of Noah to me:
as I swore that the waters
of Noah
should no more go over the
earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of
peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11 “O afflicted one,
storm-tossed and not comforted,
behold, I will set
your stones in antimony,
and lay your foundations
with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of agate,
your gates of carbuncles,
and all your wall of
precious stones.
13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
and great shall be the
peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
you shall be far from
oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it
shall not come near you.
15 If anyone stirs up strife,
it is not from me;
whoever stirs up strife with you
shall fall because of you.
16 Behold, I have created the smith
who blows the fire of
coals
and produces a weapon for
its purpose.
I have also created the ravager to destroy;
17 no weapon that is fashioned against
you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every
tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their
vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
Verse 10 tells us, “ For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of
peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
Do you know the steadfast love of God and are you daily
claiming this victory? IS there another love possible that is greater than the
love of God? Give thanks to God today for His steadfast love.
