“You poor city! Enemies came against you like storms, and no one comforted you. But I will rebuild you. I will use a beautiful mortar to lay the stones of your walls. I will use sapphire stones when I lay the foundation. The stones on top of the wall will be made from rubies. I will use shiny jewels for the gates. I will use precious stones to build the walls around you. I, the Lord, will teach your children, and they will have real peace. You will be built on goodness. You will be safe from cruelty and fear. So you will have nothing to fear. Nothing will come to hurt you. I will never send anyone to attack you. And if any army tries to attack you, you will defeat them. “Look, I made the blacksmith. He blows on the fire to make it hotter. Then he takes the hot iron and makes the kind of tool he wants to make. In the same way, I made the ‘Destroyer’ to destroy things. Isaiah 54:11-16 ERV:

Oh, to know this truth as a child: God is our Protector, Teacher, and Builder. Even when life feels stormy and no one seems to understand, God says, “I will rebuild you.” He surrounds us with His goodness, teaches our children, and gives them peace. From childhood through old age, we can rest in this promise: cruelty and fear do not have the final word. God has our back, holds our future, and can rebuild every broken place with something beautiful.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, help us trust You, with the faith of a child. Teach our children that You are always near, watching over them and surrounding them with Your goodness. When storms come, remind us that You are our Protector and that we never walk alone. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the hoor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen.
