In Isaiah 54:1 the barren woman is encouraged to sing out and burst forth into singing. To the natural mind it doesn’t make sense—when you are in a place of barrenness to be joyous. Yet when we learn to break out of that place and be joyous in tough situations—James 1:2 Count it all joy my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds— then the breakthrough will come.
When the breakthrough comes we must be quick to follow the advice of Isaiah 54:2. Our breakthrough will take us into a spacious place. It is then we should not batten down the hatches but stretch out the curtains of our spaciousness, widly throw open the doors to new freedom, don’t hold back, step out boldly, and lengthen our cords. To make sure we are well grounded in Christ. Breakthrough will bring us into a new freedom—a place to open our hearts and minds, and breathe deeply of the richness of our God. We thank you for that breakthrough O’ Lord.
