“‘See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc; no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,’ declares the Lord.” Isaiah 54:16-17 NIV
These verses reminded me that God is the creator of all things and is therefore in control of all things. Everything is in His control. Everything.
I often hear believers say that we are in the ‘end times’ due to what has, or is, happening within our world. In addition to this, they are saying that we need to stand up, to fight against this, as though to prevent this from happening.
May we be encouraged by today’s Scripture that as believers in Christ, our heritage is in Him as well. He holds our legacy, our rights, and our traditions. When we are children of God then we are heirs with Him and co-heirs with Christ – and that is our vindication – not only do we share in His sufferings, but that we may also share in His glory.

Great thoughts.
This stood out for me: “I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace.”
Isaiah 54:13 NLT
There’s a saying
No God. No peace
Know God. Know peace.
When we know God and teach our children to know God we can experience a peace that passes all understanding. There is a comfort to know that God holds our future and that He is in control when things seem out of control.
