Today’s Bible Reading: Isaiah 53, 54, 55, 56; 2 Peter 2
Scripture Focus:
Isaiah 54:13 All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
Observation:
Today’s Bible reading was so rich it was hard to choose a single passage to focus on, but this verse caught my attention. Is it not the wish of every Christian parent that their children follow the Lord and live a live of peace?
This is only one of many promises in this chapter. Here’s what the last verse says:
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.
Application:
I don’t need to worry about my children—pray for them, yes, but worry about them, no. God promises he will teach my children. This is my heritage as one of the servants of the Lord. Okay. I can stop trying to mother them now that they are adults. God will do a much better job anyway!
Prayer:
Thank you, Father, for the children you have given me. Thank you for teaching them what they need to know and helping them walk in peace.
