A Peaceable Kingdom

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 cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. 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." Isaiah 11: 6-9

 

What a beautiful picture I read this morning in my devotions using "Words of Life" That thought has been with me throughout the whole day. The commentary ends with these words,

"No more racism, prejudice, abuse, violence. No more hatred, wickedness, evil. No more jealousy, envy, poverty, injustice. No more social disorder. A peaceable kingdom. Lord, let it begin in me!

Amen! That's my sincere prayer.

The kingdom of heaven is a gracious society - loving and caring for one another.
