SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 62, VS 4
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 62, VS 4
Once we have Jesus we are never forsaken. We will never be desolate. We have a new name (Is 62:2 and Rev. 2:17) and a very personal relationship with Jesus that no one else ever had, has, or will have! He delights in everything about us. We are each beautiful to Him, and He wants to share every detail of our life with us! We are living His life since we made the exchange, and thus how can we make decisions without consulting Him, or live any moment apart from Him?!

SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 62, VS 8-9
8 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 62, VS. 10
We are to prepare the way for the people….show them the way…get God’s Word into the earth. The more that is there, the easier people will see the light. We are to “gather out the stones”—throw out satan’s strongholds, keep his stumbling stones from peoples’ paths, and ‘raise up a standard for the people” We are to be examples living for Christ and His Word. Our love should be our greatest standard for others to see, but we put His Word out by what we do in private also—praying, praising, studying the Word…whatever the Lord leads us to do for Him.

APPLICATION: CHAPTER 62, VS 11-12
The Lord has proclaimed our salvation. We are to proclaim it to the World. Each man’s reward is with him. Our heavenly reward is already ours. We carry the assurance with us throughout our lives, our work is before us. We are to give our lives in service of the Lord, as the Spirit guides us, and people will know y our love, witness, and conduct, that we are not forsaken by God.
