3 Then God will act as judge to end arguments between people in many places. He will decide what is right for great nations far and near. They will stop using their weapons for war. They will hammer their swords into plows and use their spears to make tools for harvesting. All fighting between nations will end. They will never again train for war. 4 They will sit under their own grapevine and fig tree. No one will make them afraid. That is because the Lord All-Powerful said it would happen like that.
Tomorrow our scripture will come from the 23rdPsalm and I think it fits so well with this reading from Micah. We need to come to the table with our enemies, with those who hold different opinions than ours and simply be present. Taking time to listen, truly listen to one another not so that we can respond but just that we can be present in the moment, showing we care and want to understand one another. That doesn’t mean we have to agree, only that we try to see where each other is coming from.
Holy God,
In you, all things are possible, even what seems impossible. Help us to lean on you, being present, fully present in our lives. Amen.
If you find this devotion to be a blessing, please share it with a friend.
