wolf and lamb
Monday
December 9th, Isaiah 11: All of humanity will
pay attention. A mere breath of the Spirit of God will topple the wicked. Each
morning the Spirit will work alongside the children of God to help build righteousness
and faithfulness in the land. In this newness we will see things we have
never seen before. The wolf will
romp with the lamb, the leopard sleep with the kid, Calf and lion will eat from
the same trough, and a little child will tend them. All of humanity will pay attention. Peace, God’s plan for all of humanity will
prevail. The image of wolf and lamb
together is the image of peace beyond even the innate desires within us. As we prepare for the coming of the Christ
child, we look forward to the day when the spirit will blow over the land and
Peace will prevail. No more will our
sons and daughters go fight wars and kill so a few can have the oil rights, the
land rights, the power rights, the water rights, and the money that goes with
it. The babe whose birth we soon
celebrate died at the hands of such power and rose again to put an end the influence
such power has over us, real or perceived.
We are called this Advent season to follow where the child will lead us,
to God’s vision for our life, God’s vision for our land, God’s vision of
adversaries sharing the same trough in peace lead by the little child, Emmanuel, God with us.
