My Children to Reflect His Holiness

[S] Isaiah 29:23 --
But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst,
They will sanctify My name;
Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob
And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.


(NLT)  For when they see their many children
and all the blessings I have given them,
they will recognize the holiness of the Holy One of Israel.


[O] Receiving God's blessings for my own life and for my generation is definitely a good thing.  However as I get older each year, which means closing in on my last days on earth, the hope of this verse gets highlighted even more.  The NLT version put a clearer picture in my mind about how when I see God's blessings in my children I will recognize His holiness (setting them apart from this world for His purpose).

[A] I am in awe of how God has been blessing my children, especially with Ensay's health conditions.  Tomorrow is another blood count and as I'm praying for His continual healing, I am fully recognizing by lifting up my hands in awe for His setting my children to do His great and wonderful works even after I have left this world.

[P] Dear Father, more than simply asking for protection and healing in our lives, I am praying that You would sanctify our children and their future so they would be in the middle of Your holiness as I ask in Your name.  Amen.
