TOPIC: GOD'S PROMISES AND COMMITMENT TO FAITHFUL WIDOWS
TEXT: ISAIAH 54:4-9
4. “Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5. For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6. For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
9. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.”
KEY VERSE: PSALM 103:4 “Who redeemth thy life from destruction; who crowth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies.
The scripture says, ‘fear not’. The first thing that strikes a woman when the husband dies is fear. She will think within her, ‘How shall it be?’ Your God says fear not, say unto the righteous woman, it shall be well with her. So do not be afraid. Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed.
The second thing that come to a woman after her husband has died is shame. She thinks within her, ‘I shall be ashamed.’ She is afraid of shame; but God is saying, you shall not be ashamed, neither be thou confounded; for thou shall not be put to shame. No man shall arise over you to do something that will bring you to shame. It shall not happen.
Yes! For thou shall forget the shame of thy youth and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore. God will take care of you as your new husband. He has been your father and when your husband died, he assumed the office of a husband.
By the way he will take care of you, you will not remember the reproaches of widowhood. What others cry for, you will never cry about it. The Lord is saying that you might have been a widow for some years and you have suffered the reproaches, abuses, and oppressions of life, but because you have remembered to bring God to replace your husband that has died;
He said, all those sufferings of widowhood shall be wiped away from you. You will not remember them again. Some faults may be in your life and you have been crying and saying God did not answer your prayers; but if you come into God’s way, into holiness of life, you will see that great mercy and kindness shall be poured upon you.
Thought for the day: Widow woman come to Jesus, He will never abandon you.
Song for the day: He can never, ever fail, He can never, ever fail, Jesus the same forever…
Bible reading for the day: John 1-2
