This is the day the Lord Has Made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. On this day, you may not be feeling well physically but your spirit should be filled with the love of Jesus because He is Supreme. So get up and get going and the Lord will take care of the physical part in His own way.
Today’s Prayer
Father, I come before you this morning on behalf of my brothers and sisters in Christ to ask You to help us during this Easter Season to realize that we need to be willing to surrender every part of our lives to You; our worst as well as our best. Then Easter can be our resurrection too! Let us be willing to die to our old ways and to start a new life — Your way. In Jesus’ holy name I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
A Branch from David’s Line
Isaiah 11:1-10
Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root. And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. He will delight in obeying the Lord. He will not judge by appearance nor make a decision based on hearsay. He will give justice to the poor and make fair decisions for the exploited. The earth will shake at the force of his word, and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked. He will wear righteousness like a belt and truth like an undergarment. In that day 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. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm. Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord. In that day the heir to David’s throne will be a banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to him, and the land where he lives will be a glorious place.
Quote of the Day
When a man really gives up trying to make something out of himself – a saint, or a converted sinner, or a churchman, a righteous or unrighteous man,…when in the fullness of tasks, questions, success or ill-hap, experiences and perplexities, a man throws himself into the arms of God…then he wakes with Christ in Gethsemane. That is faith, and it is thus that he becomes a man and Christian.
