Isaiah 54:2
Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
In Acts 7:44 it talks about the “tabernacle of witness”. This was the place where God dwelt and met with His people. We can look at this verse in relation to our own life. Our life should be like this visual tabernacle and be a (tabernacle or) life of witness.
God in this verse encourages them to enlarge and stretch forth the curtains of the witness. The stakes must be strengthened as the cords are lengthened.
The stakes are a picture of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith must be strengthened. The cords are what hold our testimony high so that others can see it.
Those cords can be found in 2 Peter 1:5-7
Virtue
Knowledge
Temperance
Patience
Godliness
Brotherly kindness
Charity
It is good to know that as we enlarge our witness we will not be (Isaiah 54:4):
Afraid
Ashamed
Confounded (Hurt or reproached)
The reason why we will not be afraid, ashamed or confounded is because of our maker. He is
Our Husband
The Lord of Hosts
Our Redeemer
The Holy one of Israel
The God of the whole earth
Young person enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
