By Don Ruhl

We serve an awesome Lord. Just how awesome is He? He wants to bless us before we even begin to ask for it,

“It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
And dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”
Says the Lord.
(Isaiah 65.24–25) 

He is already answering before we call for Him! He is all set to hear while we are speaking to Him! He brings peace between all kinds of people, people who formerly opposed one another, bringing together the wolf-like person with the lamb-like person. The lion-like no longer hunt the ox-like, but our enemy the serpent, eats the dust.
