"Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise."
Isaiah 60:18
I wonder what life would be without violence or wasting or destruction. It's hard to imagine, because those things are all around us, in media if not closer, but I think scriptures like this are inviting us to imagine: what if? Not imagining worse, but imagining better. And what better to do with our imaginations or our lives? God invites us to dream of good things, and focus on a better future. And not just imagine, but trust and believe in what God will bring--a better world, a better life.
Today, let's think of a life without violence, and work for the future that God has promised. Rather than settling for the violence and imperfection of the world around us, let's dream and live for something better. :)
