They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah is describing the magnificent time of the Messiah's last days glorious coming (
Isaiah 11:1-9). We will know God personally, and the vast chorus of the faithful will sing joyfully because we know God. We will enjoy his protection and be free of fear. As great as the oceans are, the intimate knowledge of the
Lord will be greater, still. The earth will be filled with those who know God. All creation will be redeemed and experience the glorious freedom of the children of God (
Romans 8:18-21). Let's anticipate that day and join our hearts in pursuit of God - to know him and experience the love he longs to lavish on us. Let's not settle for merely factual knowledge about God, but let's also come to truly know him by sharing in his work, character, mercy, and love as we seek his presence in our lives.
Dear Father, please bring me near. I need to experience your presence no matter what today brings. I want you to be my eternal Shepherd who watches out over me, one of his lambs. I want to know you as my Redeemer, Savior, and Friend as I await the day that dawns with what Isaiah prophesied so many years ago. In Jesus' name, I anticipate the dawning of that glorious day. Amen.
