Thursday Thought -- July 24, 2014

Good Morning Friends,

“The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.” (Isaiah 11:6-10)

A day of peace is coming. Not just peace among men, but even peace among the things of nature. The wolf will no longer be the predator of the lamb, the lion will no longer be the enemy of the cow, and snakes will no longer use their fearful poison.

The day of peace won’t come because of America’s influence around the world. Our nation doesn’t hold that kind of power, not over man and certainly not over nature. That kind of peace can only come from one Source. “The earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord. – The Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples.” It is the presence of Jesus and His influence that will bring peace.

When will it happen? How will He bring it about? What will it be like?

Those are all questions left to be answered. But peace is coming to the world. A peace that is beyond comprehension. A peace that is beyond anything man can accomplish, beyond anything man can even imagine.

The peace of Jesus is coming. Sounds good to me.

His, by Grace,


Steve
