Walk in the Light of the Lord

Isaiah 2:1-5

  This is a vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
 In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house
      will be the highest of all—
      the most important place on earth.
   It will be raised above the other hills,
      and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.
 People from many nations will come and say,
   “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
      to the house of Jacob’s God.
   There he will teach us his ways,
      and we will walk in his paths.”
   For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion;
      his word will go out from Jerusalem.
 The Lord will mediate between nations
      and will settle international disputes.
   They will hammer their swords into plowshares
      and their spears into pruning hooks.
   Nation will no longer fight against nation,

      nor train for war anymore.
 Come, descendants of Jacob,
      let us walk in the light of the Lord!

Thought for the Day
Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord! Wonderful, wistful words! The light of the Lord came to earth in Bethlehem on that silent night. The Prince of Peace came to show us the way to live together with war no longer a part of our vocabulary. Yet today so many many years later we see troops coming home from Iraq and we salute them for their bravery and service, and we watch the news of those remaining in Afghanistan in harms way. Our hearts cry out for peace, a world in which the spirit of the Prince of Peace will rein and" nation will no longer fight against nation".

Today's ADVENTure
Pray earnestly  that we may learn to "walk in the light of the Lord" and that weapons of war will become symbols of peace
