Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear; But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist. And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea. Then in that day The nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious. Isaiah 11:1-10 NASB

My friend take courage in the knowledge that our Saviour, Jesus Christ, continues to work, even today, even in the midst of the most atrocious and unimaginable human acts. He works even in the midst of our own sinful ways. We owe glory, praise and honor, gratitude and worship to the newborn King, the hope of the nations, light of the world, He is with us, He will return, all that is all that was all that will be.  As we join Jesus in the battle against satan and its enemy forces, we are not powerless, even when it seems that evil continues to prevail. Remember. We serve Jesus, the Warrior King, and He will never cease to defend His people, our Lord God will stand for Truth, and we must join Him in that stand, we will stand by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
