Episode 290: Isaiah 11

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Isaiah 11

Father, out of the stump of King David’s family, you grew a shoot, a new branch bearing fruit from the old root. When he was baptized by John, the Holy Spirit came and rested on him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of you.

He delighted in obeying you. He didn't judge by appearance or make decisions based on hearsay. He gave justice to the poor and made fair decisions for the exploited. 

The earth was shaken by the force of his Word. With one breath, he was able to silence the wicked. He wore righteouness like a belt and truth like an undergarment. 

The day is coming when the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all.

The cow will graze near the bear. The cub and the calf will lie down together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra. A little child will put its hands in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.

Nothing will hurt or destroy in your holy Kingdom, Father. For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with people who know and love you.

Jesus is the banner of salvation to all the world. Every nation will bow to him. He will establish a glorious place to live among us. He will reach out his hand again to bring back the remnant of your people, those of us who obey you and bring you honor Father.

He will raise a flag among the nations and assemble the exiles. He will gather your children from the ends of the earth.

Father, you make a way for me, just as you did for the children of Israel when you parted the seas. You will make a path that I can easily walk on foot. You will make a highway for me, just as you did for Israel long ago. 

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
