Green Verses: a series which seeks to highlight scriptures that point to God as the Creator, His sovereignty over the earth, His redemption of the earth, and our call to participate in that redemption. Take a moment and reflect on what God might be saying through His Word.

Isaiah 11:6-9

The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze, their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder’s den. They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

Some things are just impossible: a wolf living with a lamb, a lion eating straw, and an infant playing around snakes unharmed. Or irreconcilable relationships being reconciled, a decayed body restored, and a broken creation renewed. These things are impossible. And yet we serve a God in whom all things are possible. To Him none of these things are impossible.

I encourage you to catch a glimpse of this hope this morning. It is not a vain hope nor is it wishful thinking. It is a concrete hope in our God and Savior. In this our God, all things are possible even the seemingly impossible.
