What a promise we hear: no more wars!  It doesn’t seem very close to happening, since factories all over the world make tanks, rifles and explosives for war.

But still, God gives Isaiah a look at a future.  Like the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus, the unexpected and un-hoped for actually happens…even in the case of war! 

The question for today is: what can you and I do to be sure “mini-wars” don’t happen in our lives that come from arguments, unkindness and lack of love?
