Isaiah 54:2, 4-5
Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, stengthen your stakes…Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For you Maker is your husband–the Lord Almighty is his name–the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
It is time to move forward. After this time of repentance and introspection, it is time to move into the Lord’s mission for this time. Who am I today? Whom do I serve? How will I know? How will those around me know? There is work to be done… the stretching of tent curtains and stakes, the lengthening of cords takes effort.
