Isaiah 15-16:5 -- War torn countries and A Kingdom of Love

As I read these verses I think of war torn countries and refugees and countries that accept refugees.  It makes me wonder what happens that invokes people to fight and/or care.  It also makes me think of people who leave their country and come to another country as a refugee and then want to change the country they come to.  The reality is everyone has something good to offer.  Some of us make some very bad choices but all of us can make a positive difference in this world.  The problem is we aren't all knowing so we don't know how to best co-ordinate this with everyone but this is the beauty of Jesus; the person "from David's family", who "rules with fairness" and "does what is right and quickly brings justice".  He showed us how to live in person and as He did this He highlighted that He had to be about His Father's business.

Father, give us eyes to see Your Kingdom, ears to hear your requests, and faith and ambition to obey You.  "For Yours is the Kingdom!"
