Finding God’s Grace During Our Time of Weakness
Isaiah 65:25 “The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,” says the Lord.”
The Word of God holds a lot of promise to those whose faith are in Him. Even during the time of Israel’s willful disobedience, yes, there were consequences to their sin, but God never stopped sending words of promise to those who will repent and these were sent through His prophets.
The passage above is just one of those many passages. This doesn’t necessarily have to be taken literally to say that time will come when animals will become tame, like aggression in dogs will be gone, or the wild instincts of predatory animals will be gone. This may be pertaining to repentance – the change of heart of people who have been aggressive toward God, more particularly His people who have willfully disobeyed Him.
It is amazing that God, even in our moments of weakness and foolishness, still looks forward to our restoration. May these words be a reminder for us about God’s grace and faithfulness.
