Mothering is such a daunting task! Sure, some days we're completely convinced nothing else deserves our commitment and nothing else returns such rewards. But such day's are more the exception then the rule.
More often, we struggle with the feeble hands, unsteady knees and fearful hearts that Isaiah describes in 35:3-4. Oh, the moments when our feeble hands fail to comfort a sobbing infant! How our unsteady knees bend under the weight of our preteens skepticism. And our hearts fear for the future of our young adult children, facing a world where morals are missing and absolutes are absent.
To these body part struggles, God responds, " Be strong, do not fear; your God will come........to save you. Isaiah 35 goes on to describe the restoration of Israel after captivity in Babylon.
In the same way, you and I can find courage to deal with the challenges of our days as Mom. God comes to save us. He strengthens our feeble hands, steadies our knees and restores our fearful hearts.
