"...so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." Is 55:11
As we start this new season, I just wanted to encourage you with the above scripture. Sometimes it seems like we’re just not getting through. Ever feel like that? I do. Regularly. Maybe it’s because I have teens. My kids are at that oh, so scary place in life where they are seeking out their “own salvation with fear and trembling” namely...MY fear and trembling. They are finding their own faith. Their faith is no longer mom and dad’s faith. To be totally honest - that is a scary place to be.

I miss the days when I could control just about everything in their life. What they wore, ate, friendships, play time, TV time, etc. Now, I’m lucky if I can control the remote control!! Sigh… It’s times like this that the above scripture has to be in the forefront of my spirit and remember, His Word will accomplish that which He has sent it for. This is what keeps me praying the Word over our kids. Not what I see (or sometimes hear), but what I KNOW…His Word lives and breathes.
It is alive. Praise God!!
