'You
will spread out to the right and to the left...' Isaiah 54:3 NIV
Refuse To Pull Back!
Has all the gloom and doom in the news caused you to
become fearful and begin to pull back? Take a moment and read this: 'Sing, O
barren woman, you who never bore a child...shout for joy, you who were never in
labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has
a husband...Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do
not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread
out to the right hand and to the left...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.'
(Isaiah 54:1-4 NIV) Satan will try to plant all kinds of fear in your mind
about things that are not even likely to happen. He will tell you that your
children are going to be lost; that because cancer, Alzheimer's or heart
disease runs in your family, you too are going to get it. His goal is to stop
you dead in your tracks. He knows God's plan for you is to 'spread out to the
right and to the left,' not pull back. 'How long will this attack last?' you
ask. Quite possibly as long as the longest stand you've taken against Satan in
the past! What can you do? 'Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be
able to withstand in the evil day...' (Ephesians 6:13 NKJV) Stand squarely on
God's Word and refuse to pull back.
