1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD –

3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears;

4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5 Righteousness will be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling [a] together;
and a little child will lead them.

7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8 The infant will play near the hole of the cobra,
and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest.

9 They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.
Merry Christmas!

I detest that posture of prayerlessness right there with you, Sharkgirl. I’m kicking myself for that very thing this week…

Susan (Faithwalk), you are so funny. I was delighted (in my flesh) at first when you thought I had written that piece but quickly had to give it to the Lord…and He reciprocated by setting you straight! What fun! And for the rest, I agree with Marie that Faithwalk is a great site to glean inspiration and encouragement. Be well in Him, sister! God’s blessings…

I hate it when all you can do is pray, too. I hate it even worse when you know all you can do is pray, but you don’t want to anymore, and so you don’t.

Susan, you are so funny. It is WONDERFUL seeing you here! All of you guys that read Pasture Scott, you will be so blessed if you check out Faithwalk’s blog.

Well, Pastor, I think I have finally had to give up e-mailing the atheist. It was becoming too hard to be something I’m not. She totally rejects God and anything having to do with Him. So, I will continue to pray for her that the LORD will grant her salvation. I think that relates to this post somehow?

See ya tomorrow! Many blessings!

Thank you for sharing this story and your heart here; I do understand the feeling, having family members bound in addiction. They cry out to God and try so hard, only to fall again and again, and all the while we pray. But, I know that I know our prayers are still making a difference, even when we don’t see the fruit of it right away!

Intercession has become an ever increasing part of my life that I now cherish so dearly, for it is so much more than merely bringing our requests to the Lord…
And I have seen mountains moved and lived miracles, so be blessed and encouraged brother!
Our Mighty, Holy AWESOME GOD still reigns and is forever Faithful and True!!!

Jesus love, grace and blessings to you!

Susan

This was very touching.

Pray is right.

I must agree and love the last line “I may not understand or often enjoy prayer, and I may hate it when it’s all you can do….” I feel this way lots as many do I am sure.

Must keep on keeping on in the prayer that is.

I receive your kind blessing, Timbob, and hear you loud and clear. Don’t you wish you could get a sneak peek into the heavenly realms and see the effects of a person on their knees before the Lord? Talk about scurrying demons and huge wrecking balls against the Babylon towers of evil! May we get on our knees and fight like a man and never waver in unbelief! He is mighty! He is our Overcomer!

You rest well tonight, brother, and hit the ground running tomorrow!

Good Morning. Thanks first of all, for sharing this account. Few realize the societal collapse that’s taking place all around us and this acount testifies of the fruits thereof. Second, sometimes that’s all we can do is to pray. We may desire to get ionvolved in a situation; take matters into our own hands so to speak, but sometimes it’s just not possible. But when we take it to the Lord and the issue is made mention of before the God who created all that is, things happen. Thanks again for making mention.

Have a blessed day in Jesus
