Isaiah 11:6 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.
I’m feeling a little tender today, a little defeated, though I know I shouldn’t. This section brings me comfort as I know that God has a plan, He is in control, and He can work all things to my good and His glory. This is the truth I will cling to.
Isaiah 11:7 The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
These verses show life out of its normal order. To me, they show hope and possibility at a time when I definitely need both. God can turn the whole world on its ear. He can reorder the natural order. I don’t have to be able to understand how or why (though I desperately want understanding). I just have to trust. I choose to trust in Him.
Isaiah 11:8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for giving me hope this morning and for the reminder that You have all things firmly in hand. Thank You for knowing my heart. Draw me closer. Always. Amen.
Isaiah 11:9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Have a blessed day.
