Resolute

 "He will not yell out loud in the streets, nor crush a bruised grass stem, nor snuff out a faltering wick," Isaiah 42:2-3.

Describes Jesus' meekness. Gentle with the weakest. Unobtrusive. Among the quiet of the land. Powered in God's Spirit with a quiet spirit. Pressing kindly on, untiring, unfainting, undaunted, resolute until justice breaks out in the land. Until the races hope in him. Mild. Longsuffering. Kind. Kingdom of heaven on earth. Kingdom of God. God's congregation. Jesus' assembly. Church of Christ.

Today, alongside a brother or sister, we honor God for his unshakeable kingdom. Grateful, together, for his sky kingdom breaking out in this land right now. Hope in that meek One.
