A heritage of divine wisdom and peace

Isaiah 54:¹³ All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
and great shall be the peace of your children.
¹⁷no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD
and their vindication from me, declares the LORD."

The heritage of the servants of the Lord are described by Isaiah as follows: The Lord will establish them in prosperity, their generations will be taught by Him and have great peace, they will be free and not afraid, and nothing that comes against them will prevail. The part that really catches my attention is verse 13. This is God's promise to His servants, that their children will be taught by God and they shall have great peace.

As a mother, I greatly desire this for my son. I want him to be taught by the Lord. I want him to have that intimate relationship and I want Lion to gain wisdom and knowledge. Also, I want Lion to have great peace. Especially when he stirres during the early hours of the morning to feed and then wakes up and has trouble going back to sleep. I want him to rest peacefully. It bothers me that he struggles with resting. However, it's probably a good example of how adults, myself included, do the same thing. We have every opportunity and reason to just rest and trust in God. When he lays me down in a green pasture, I should just stay down. I should not fight it, but I do. Anyways, I shouldn't get upset when Lion doesn't sleep when he's tired. I need to be filled with God's grace in those moments. The peace that God promises Lion isn't slothful rest, it is peace knowing that God is His Lord and Savior. That God is contending for him and that wisdom and love is immediately available in Jesus. That is the precious gift we have for our children if we serve the Lord. When I am loving God the way that I should, my son will receive God's blessing of knowledge and peace.

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for my sins. You know, Lord, just how frustrated I get. Please take that from me. Help me to completely surrender that to You. Make me into a peaceful person. Lord, I thank You for Your inheritance through Jesus Christ. I recognize that heritage as my own and ask that I continue always to love and serve You genuinely. Lord, please continue to pour out Your peace upon me and my family. I ask that Your peace rest in this home always. Please help me to be gracious as Lion learns how to sleep through the night. Please help Lion sleep through the night as well. Thank You, Jesus. I love You. I pray all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
