Isaiah 49:8

Isaiah 49:8



Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

We have all come from the desolate heritages, into Christ, who have flown to Christ for salvation and redemption.



The desire to mother the desolate heritages, is the blessing of the Lord. The desire to give maternal influence and to see it shine to the glory of God is a God wrought impulse. God nurtures a culture so that the growth of women can include something other than what is for self ornamentation. The ornamentation of the souls in heaven is what children they have nurtured for the glory of God. This is clear in scripture as something that is God nurtured and not earthly. God shows that salvation is the want of self to be in communion with God and that the nurture of other souls to learn to love Him, also.
In the book Man of LaMancha, Cervantes shows a culture where Christian maturity had not grown to the point where a woman could love God and become converted and show His grace in her life, without being taken advantage of by others. This is a judgement on a culture. When a culture cannot nurture women to love and want to love others to draw them to Jesus, without being taken advantage of, it is a grave judgement and God shows what He did to Sodom and Gomorrah, who had wicked intentions for every visitor to their city. That is the spirit of Rahab that God is hammering out of our history, as we instruct Christ to each generation. We should be growing in the fear of God. What are we nurturing in our young? In our home? In our city? In our country? In our world? Can someone love people and show the love of God, without being taken a prisoner of wickedness and taken advantage of by the mob. Christianity is a higher power for cultural change than was Judaism in the Old Testament. God, through Christ has bought salvation and grace personally and then, cultural change results, as we grow up into Christ in all things. Someone must yearn for souls as a barren woman yearns for children. This is the spiritual battle that God is fighting. Where is Hannah, He seems to cry in Isaiah. Where is the family who will fight the good fight to nurture souls into the kingdom, through love?
