INSIGHTS FROM ISAIAH: #2
Isaiah 11:1-10
As we continue our journey through Advent lighting candles of hope, love, joy, and peace, our individual walks may take much longer. Some of us have been or are in the wilderness of exile. When we have a difficult child, a dying loved one, a bout of depression, a painful disease, a failing marriage, a loss of income, or another seismic shift in our lives, we cry out to the Son of God to appear. We look for a shoot from a stump. What is the stump of Jesse in your life? What is it that appears lifeless and hopeless, yet can still yield a twig of hope, a shoot of life?
