And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
– Isaiah 2:4
This is such a powerful verse. Isaiah 2:4 paints a vision of peace where conflict is transformed into cultivation, swords into plowshares, spears into pruninghooks. Itβs a reminder that Godβs ultimate justice leads not to destruction but to restoration, turning tools of war into tools of life. I love how it ties into our life of creativity: just as weapons become instruments for growth, we transform grief and struggle into loving others, prayer, and being care full that nourishes others. May y’all’s day carry that same spirit of peace and renewal.
