Brothers and Sisters,
But I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,
and my reward is with my God.” (Is. 49)
24 Can plunder be taken from warriors,
or captives be rescued from the fierce[d]?
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend with you,
and your children I will save.
One of the greatest gifts that parents can receive from the Lord is to see their children doing well. Parents also can experience great pain through the suffering of their children. A parent can die of a broken heart because of a child. The Lord tells us that even if Satan makes a captive of your child, the Lord himself will free that child. This is what the Lord says: "Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save."
Please read Isaiah 48-50.
May the Lord richly bless you!
