Psalm 124, Is 54:1-10, Matthew 24:23-35
“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,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)
Isaiah 54 is a chapter of promise, restoration, and tender reassurance. It follows the powerful prophecy of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53—Jesus, who bore our sins and carried our sorrows. And now, in chapter 54, God speaks to His people not with judgment, but with deep compassion.
The chapter opens with a strange command: “Sing, barren woman…” (v.1). God speaks directly to the one who feels empty, forgotten, or disqualified—calling her not by her failure, but by her future. He invites her to rejoice before the breakthrough, to sing before the miracle.
God is not limited by what is. He sees what will be.
He speaks to the rejected and the shamed and says, “You will forget the shame of your youth” (v.4). He calls Himself your Redeemer, your Husband, your Builder. In every verse, God gently reminds us that His heart is not to cast us off, but to draw us close again.
And then comes verse 10, one of the most powerful promises in all of Scripture:
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken…”
Everything else in life may shift. People may leave. Plans may fall apart. Dreams may die. But God’s love remains unshaken.
He has established a covenant of peace with you—a promise that is not based on your performance, but on His mercy. He has compassion on you, even in your brokenness. He is not finished with you.
Where do you feel barren, forgotten, or unworthy today?
Isaiah 54 invites you to expand your tent, stretch out your faith, and make room for what God is going to do—even if you don’t see it yet. He is a God of restoration. What was empty, He will fill. What was broken, He will rebuild. What was lost, He will redeem.
You don’t have to live in fear or shame. You are not forsaken. You are loved with an everlasting, unshakable love.
For Prayerful Consideration
- Are there areas in your life where you’ve stopped believing that restoration is possible?
- What would it look like to “sing” before the breakthrough—praising God in faith for what you have not yet seen?
