April 25, 2026, Isaiah 11:1-16
11 There shall come forth a
shoot from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his
roots shall bear fruit.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and
understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and
might,
the Spirit of knowledge
and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide disputes
by what his ears hear,
4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for
the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath
of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and faithfulness the
belt of his loins.
6 The wolf shall dwell with
the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie
down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
and a little child shall
lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down
together;
and the lion shall eat
straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the
cobra,
and the weaned child shall
put his hand on the adder's den.
9 They shall not hurt or destroy
in all my holy
mountain;
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the
sea.
10 In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand
as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his
resting place shall be glorious.
11 In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time
to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from
Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam,
from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.
12 He will raise a
signal for the nations
and will assemble the
banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of
the earth.
13 The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
and those who harass Judah
shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not harass
Ephraim.
14 But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the
Philistines in the west,
and together they shall
plunder the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand against Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites
shall obey them.
15 And the Lord will
utterly destroy
the tongue of the Sea of
Egypt,
and will wave his hand over the River
with his scorching breath,
and strike it into seven channels,
and he will lead people
across in sandals.
16 And there will be a highway from Assyria
for the remnant that
remains of his people,
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the
land of Egypt.
Once God’s discipline has done
it’s work, he will restore the remnant who still place their trust in Him. What
a beautiful promise this is! Keep walking with the Lord and living for Him
daily. He has great plans for us!
