PROMISE #137 - MAY 17
Promise #137:
I will teach your children My ways and give them great peace.
Isaiah 54:13 (WEB)
All your children shall be taught of Yahweh;
and great shall be the peace of your children.
In today's promise, we read how the Lord says that He will be faithful to teach our children His ways and give them great peace. For those of us who have children, this promise is very dear. God is a family man (so to speak). It was His idea to create a family structure where we would all be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion throughout the earth. (Genesis 1:28)
His eyes are on our children, and He promises to teach them His ways and grant them great peace. My wife and I have three adult children, a son and daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren. Like any parent, we desire for them to know the Lord's ways and live a peaceful life. When I read today's promise, my father's (and grandfather's) heart cries out 'yes and amen!'
Whether your children are experiencing the fulfillment of this promise or not, don't give up. Keep praying for them and believing that our Father's heart is to bless our children even more than we desire for them to be blessed. May God grant each of us the grace to trust Him with the loving care of our kids. Our Father is indeed a 'family man', and He will be faithful to watch over our children!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you that the very idea of family came from your heart, so you know and understand the desires I have for my own family as well. May the peace of Christ reign in my heart today, allowing me to entrust the care of each one of my loved ones into your faithful hands.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
