"They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore; but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
(Micah 4:3-4)
Today is the day. 11 years ago. The day that changed the world in so many ways. Air travel, security, our military, and so much else will never be the same again. So many died. So many lives cut short. So many families impacted. True heroes emerged. An entire religion vilified. The war on terror began in earnest by the US. 11 years ago today.
As I sat at Starbucks this morning reading Facebook & Twitter posts, so many are remembering today. And that's important. And then in my devotional reading I came across Micah 4:3-4. The prophet looked for that time when wars would cease and everyone would sit under their own trees "and no one shall make them afraid."
A world without fear. Now that's something to dream about & look forward to! By the grace of God... may it be so... soon.
