“The wolf shall live with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the kid,
The calf and the lion and the fatling together,
And a little child shall lead them.”
Isaiah 11:6
As I read his poem from Isaiah of the foretelling the child in the manger, I am reminded of the many activities of the Advent season where we gather with our birth families, church families, and friends. As we gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the ultimate reconciler, we arrive from various households and areas of the country ages, experiences, and allegiances.
During the past 2 years our attention has focused on disparate opinions and infectious viruses that have separated us physically and ideologically, yet Isaiah suggests an alternative to us. The poet from long ago suggests an allegiance between the wolf and lamb, the leopard and the kid, the calf, lion, and fatling together due to a child in a manger.
This Advent as we hug or fist bump, comfort, confront, wear a face mask or not, laugh, listen and share; we can join together focusing on the similarities that we share as reconciled people of God. I hope that your advent is filled with expectation, waiting, reconciliation and joy.
great post
Thank you for this Advent reflection; it gently reminded me to slow down and listen with intention. In seasons of planning and work, even searching for business plan writers near me, faith calls us back to purpose, hope, and service, grounding our goals in love, patience, and trust each day.
I like how concisely you express your ideas here; your message is upbeat and serene. As someone looking into career support, I've also discovered resume service providers in Ireland that assist people in successfully showcasing their skills throughout job searches.
A beautiful reminder of unity and reconciliation during Advent. Thank you for this heartfelt reflection. In a world often divided, coming together with grace is truly powerful. Just like resume editing services Malaysia help bring clarity and harmony to a resume, this message encourages us to find common ground in faith and love.
This devotional is incredibly uplifting and provides a deep meditation for the season. A career path needs to be prepared with care and clarity, much way our hearts are prepared during Advent. You can confidently and purposefully tell your narrative with the aid of a professional resume writing service online.
