Enlarge your tent -- Isaiah 54

Isa 54 reminds me of Peter in the boat, called by the Lord to step out in faith to walk on the sea.
Though nothing seems to work by human eyes, everything is barren and shame, but in spirit we can "shout for joy", because "the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous than the sons of the married woman, "says the Lord.
If we only step out by faith, and hold onto His promises tight, though there will be storms, though there will be battles, "the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed"
Although everything says no, everyone is against you, but "in righteousness you will be established", and "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper, and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condem. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord."
Like Peter, if we let our eyes see the storms, the water, the common sense, we will fall. But if we listen to the Lord's calling, and put our trust in Him, only focus on him, we will be able to walk on the water and fulfil His calling.
