We Need Plowshares

In Isaiah 2:4 it says “He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

I think a great deal of the time many of us feel there is nothing we can do. We live our lives as peacefully as possible but how can any one of us influence governments and those greedy for power? I’m not sure one of us can. But I do believe that ten and twenty, and hundreds and thousands banded together to say “NO” can begin to influence world leaders.

Right now we are headed in an impossible direction and it is going to take many of us to turn things around.

Thinking of my grandchildren, I would sign up in a minute to be one of those thousands who speak up.

People Want Peace So Much

Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke the words that are the beginning of this song in London in 1959: I wonder when governments will listen to the people? Or, I wonder when the people will insist that their governments “get out of the way” and let them have the peace they want.

It’s a round and it is truly a round between governments and people.

What would it be like to have peace? How long has it been since there has been peace around the world, and no war going on anywhere?

Google that one——but it certainly isn’t now.

So get ready to insist.
