The Knife Angel

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “The Knife Angel.” Sheridan Voysey wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Isaiah 2:1–4 with the key verse, “Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore”, Isaiah 2:4. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all that I write, I first pray to God to guide my words so that it will serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of wiring. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Before I knew Christ, I longed for peace. I had no desire to fight in any war or conflict. I only wanted to get my degree, some experience. Then, find a job and raise a family. I thought that was not too much to hope. However, the world has other ideas.

As a Christian, I can have faith that in the future God will return and bring peace on earth. There will be no need for weapons. Our industries will convert the same materials used for war and crime to materials to praise God. We will not die or grow up in crime-breeding poverty or in war torn countries. God will provide our every needs. That new world isn’t yet here, but we are to pray and serve until its arrival (Matthew 6:10).

Reflect:

What inspires you to combat evil? How can you work for peace in your community?

Prayer:

Jesus, we cannot wait until the world is at peace under Your reign. Move us by Your Spirit to help see Your kingdom come in our communities.

May God bless you and move you by His Spirit to help see His kingdom come in your communities.
