“A Marvellous Work and a Wonder”

What if the things that feel broken in your life aren’t actually finished?

This week in Isaiah, we see warnings about pride, worldliness, and turning away from God—but we also see an incredible message of hope, healing, and restoration through Jesus Christ.

Isaiah describes broken walls, barren ground, heavy burdens, wandering people, and things that seem beyond repair. But that isn’t where the story ends. He also describes the wilderness blooming, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, sorrow disappearing, and God’s people being restored.

In this episode, we’re talking about what all of that means for us as moms.

We’ll dive into:

• 🩷 Babylon vs. Christ — What are we really building our lives and homes upon?
• 🩷 The burdens moms carry — and Christ’s invitation to come to Him when we are tired, heavy, and overwhelmed.
• 🩷 Waiting on the Lord — especially when prayers haven’t been answered or someone we love is wandering.
• 🩷 Jesus Christ as our sure foundation — because the goal isn’t a storm-free family; it’s a Christ-founded family.
• 🩷 Isaiah’s prophecy of “a marvellous work and a wonder” and how the Restoration is still happening in our homes today.
• 🩷 Learning to hear, “This is the way, walk ye in it” when motherhood doesn’t come with a handbook.
• 🩷 The God who restores — relationships, hearts, testimonies, families, and things we thought were too broken to repair.

One of my favorite truths from this week's study comes from Isaiah 30:18:

“And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you.”

We spend so much time talking about waiting on God, but sometimes God is waiting too. Waiting for us to turn to Him. Waiting for us to listen. Waiting for us to come home. And as mothers, sometimes loving our children means teaching, inviting, praying, testifying—and then trusting God while we wait.

Find one thing in your life that needs restoration.

Not ten things. Just one.

A relationship. A habit. Your prayers. Your scripture study. Something with one of your children. Your relationship with Christ. Or maybe something inside of you.

Ask:

“Jesus, what would restoration look like here?”

Then listen for His direction:

“This is the way, walk ye in it.” — Isaiah 30:21

And take one step.

Because this week Isaiah reminds us:

Jesus Christ is the foundation. Jesus Christ carries our burdens. Jesus Christ wipes our tears. Jesus Christ makes the wilderness bloom. Jesus Christ restores what is broken.

❤️ Broken is not the same thing as finished. Jesus Christ is still doing His marvelous work.

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re diving into Isaiah 1–12 — and if you’ve ever opened Isaiah, read three verses, and thought, “I have absolutely no idea what this man is talking about,” this episode is for you. 😂

Instead of trying to understand every symbol and prophecy, we’re approaching Isaiah with one simple question:

What am I learning about Jesus Christ?

And moms… He is ALL OVER these chapters.

We’ll talk about how Jesus Christ cleans us, teaches us, calls us, qualifies us, counsels us, gives us peace, gathers us, strengthens us, rescues us, and stays with us right in the middle of our lives.

Isaiah 1:16–18 — “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

Isaiah 2:2–5 — Going to the mountain of the Lord, learning His ways, and walking in His paths.

Isaiah 6:8 — “Here am I; send me.” What does send me look like in motherhood?

Isaiah 9:6 — Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 11–12 — Discovering the character of Christ and learning to trust instead of fear.

Isaiah 12:2 — “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.”

We also talk about the idols and comparison traps we face today, worrying more about the world’s approval than God’s, feeling like we don’t belong, and learning to turn to Jesus Christ as our Counsellor and Prince of Peace when motherhood feels chaotic.

One of my favorite questions from studying this week was:

“What experience have you had where God has entered into your story?”

Because we can know all the Primary answers about Jesus — but do we know Him? Have we experienced His comfort? His direction? His peace? His rescue?

We’ll also discuss teachings from President Dallin H. Oaks, President Boyd K. Packer, President Gordon B. Hinckley, President Harold B. Lee, and a thought from C. S. Lewis.

Don’t worry about understanding every single word of Isaiah.

Open your scriptures and pray:

“Heavenly Father, what do You want me to learn about Jesus Christ?”

Then look for Him.

Look for His character. Look for His promises. Look for what He does for His children.

Because Isaiah teaches us that He is in the midst of thee.

He is there in the laundry, the carpools, the hard conversations, the sleepless nights, the worries, the mistakes, and the ordinary moments of motherhood.

And when the Lord asks, “Whom shall I send?” maybe our answer can be:

“Here am I; send me.”

🤍 You are never behind. Just start where you are, open your scriptures, and come closer to Christ this week.

Come, Follow Me September 7–13, 2026 | Proverbs & Ecclesiastes

What does a wise woman build her life on?

Not perfection. Not appearances. Not money. Not what everyone else is doing. Not fear. Not even her own understanding.

She builds her life on Jesus Christ. ❤️

Mamas, I LOVED studying Proverbs this week! Honestly, Proverbs kind of sounds like a mom sometimes. 😂

“Make good choices.” “Watch your words.” “Work hard.” “Be kind.” “Listen to wisdom.” “Don't be prideful.” “Trust God.”

And basically… DON'T BE FOOLISH. 😂

But underneath all of that practical wisdom is a much deeper message: God is teaching us how to build a life.

And as mothers, we aren't only building our own lives—we are helping our children build theirs.

In this week's episode, we're talking about what it means to become a wise woman, trust God when we can't see the entire path, use words that bring peace into our homes, let Christ pour into us, and raise children whose foundation is Jesus Christ.

🏠 The Wise Man & the Foolish Man — Matthew 7:24–27 That Primary song we've sung a thousand times has such a powerful message for motherhood. The storm comes to BOTH houses. Following Christ doesn't mean storms won't come—it means we have a foundation that can withstand them.

❤️ Let Christ Pour Into You — Proverbs 1:23 Moms know what it means to pour ourselves out. We give our time, energy, sleep, prayers, service, tears, and love. But Christ also wants to pour His Spirit, wisdom, grace, peace, and strength into us.

🛤️ Trust in the Lord — Proverbs 3:5–6 Where are you putting your trust? The world? Social media? Money? Your own plans? Or Jesus Christ? We don't have to see the entire road for God to direct our path. Sometimes He gives us just the next step.

🙏 Hushing Our Fears We talk about Elder David A. Bednar's message Therefore They Hushed Their Fears and the difference between worldly fear and “the fear of the Lord.” Faith doesn't mean pretending something isn't scary. Faith is remembering that the scary thing isn't bigger than God.

💰 Wisdom Is Better Than Gold — Proverbs 16:16 Ecclesiastes reminds us how temporary so many of the things we chase really are. The perfect house, body, accomplishments, money, recognition—even the perfectly behaved children. 😂 Don't confuse maintaining your life with the purpose of your life.

🍯 Words Matter — Proverbs 15:1 & 16:24 “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” This one hits differently when you're a mom. 😂 We talk about Elder Ronald A. Rasband's Words Matter and three phrases that can transform our homes: Thank you. I'm sorry. I love you.

🕊️ Be a Peacemaker Drawing from Elder Neil L. Andersen's Following Jesus: Being a Peacemaker, we talk about responding with kindness, being slow to anger, and remembering that we don't have to attend every argument we're invited to.

👩‍👧‍👦 The Virtuous Woman — Proverbs 31:10–31 The virtuous woman isn't Pinterest Mom. She's not Instagram Mom. She's not the mom whose house is always clean and whose children never fight. 😂 Proverbs describes a woman of strength, honor, wisdom, kindness, hard work, love, and devotion to God.

Virtue isn't perfection.

Virtue is spiritual strength.

Our job isn't simply to raise children who know all the Primary answers.

We're trying to raise children who know where to go when Mom isn't standing beside them.

They need their own relationship with Christ. Their own prayers. Their own experiences with revelation. Their own testimony.

Because eventually the rain comes.

We can't build their house forever.

But we can teach them where the Rock is. ❤️

Ask yourself:

What am I building on?

Choose one area where you can become a little wiser this week. Trust God instead of fear. Speak more softly. Say “I'm sorry.” Let go of something temporary. Let Christ pour into you. Teach your child something about Jesus. Praise God for something good.

The goal isn't to become the Proverbs 31 woman overnight.

It's to become a little more like Jesus today.

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:6

Mama, keep building your motherhood, your home, your family, and your identity on Jesus Christ.

The rain may still come—but your foundation will already be there. ❤️
