Isaiah chapter 54 verse 5

for your maker is your husband

the Lord of hosts is his name and the Holy One of Israel is your

Redeemer. The God of the whole earth he is called. I love this first it has so many descriptions of titles of God for your maker so

that's the first one capital capital M Maker. He's the one who made you. Just let that one soak in in a fresh way right now.

You, your body, your mind, your soul is made formed by God himself, and we know in Psalm 139 kind of language you are fearfully and

wonderfully made by God himself he is your maker he is your husband Now what's interesting here is sometimes I've heard guys say I just I have kind of a hard time viewing myself as the bride of Christ And I would just encourage you if you have any

challenges with that think about biblically what a bride is specifically in relation to a husband.

A bride is someone, so just picture this profile who is loved,

cherished, honored by a husband in such a way that that husband will do anything

and everything will sacrifice for his bride's good to provide for, to protect, to nurture,

to help his bride flourish, like this is what it means to be a bride biblically and God is saying

I'm going to be that for you. And when you realize that, it's only pride that can keep you from

rejoicing at the reality that you're the bride of Jesus that he loves you, cherishes you,

honors you, is committed to providing for you and protecting you and laying down his life toward that end.

That's what it means to be the bride of Christ.

For your maker is your husband, the

Lord of hosts is his name, Isaiah 54-5 says the Lord of hosts, the Lord of

heavenly armies. That's who is your husband. the Lord of Heavenly Armies.

That's who is your husband.

That's who is your maker.
