Verses Covered
Bible - Isaiah 11:1-9
Spark Bible - pages 172 to 175
Devotion: Do you ever have a bad day because of a difference of opinion with a friend or sibling?
Do you ever feel nobody understands you? Or you are struggling because somebody is different than you?
Sometimes we will be having a bad day and we will judge people or blame them for who they are. These thoughts become trapped in our minds as negative images of that person, changing our feelings into a negative feeling that creates a war inside us against that person. In our passage it reminds us how God loves us so much and that God wants our love too. The best way to show God that is by loving our neighbor and living in peace with others.
We may have differences in our skin color, hair style, dress, have different ways of thinking or would not agree with each other’s opinion but we are all children of God and we have to live in harmony with our neighbors, in peace as our Lord wants.
Reflection: How do I try to live in harmony with God?
Prayer: Dear God, please let me accept in my heart we are all your children and as you live in me let me see you in the eyes of my neighbor on the street, class, church, house because you are with me everywhere. Amen.
