Scripture Isaiah 11:1-10

There is so much turmoil in our world today. Not only among us humans, but also in the animal kingdom. When I read this passage, I feel really blessed. What a beautiful place the writer describes in verses 6-8. A place where the wolf will dwell with the lion and all the animals will live in unity and peace.

When we look around us, we see anything but unity. People are killing each other like it's the natural thing to do. There is hardly any respect for human life anymore. But Isaiah tells of a place where there will be no more killing.

A place where everyone, human and animal alike, will dwell together as one. Can we possibly imagine such a place? A place where you can walk along and pet a lion or a snake without having the fear of being bitten. Awesome isn't it?

It's hard for people to believe that such a place exists. But the word of God says that there will be such a place in the future, and if God says it, then I believe it will be so. I believe that it is God's will for people to live in unity now. Psalms 133:1 says,"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."

Jesus said in John 13:25,"By this shall you know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." The world needs to see love and unity among the children of God, not strife and disunity. We are after all going to spend eternity together. Why not get started now?




Time is too short to be fighting
We must join together now
We will answer for what we do
When at His feet we bow.
