During one of our morning devotions, my daughter and I were discussing the kingdom of heaven in Isaiah 9 and 11. As most healthy Christians, Kit really enjoys talking about heaven. On this particular day, I read the passages that talked about what life in heaven would be like. We focused specifically on the section that says the "lion will lay with the calf and a child will take care of them both".
I was attempting to engage her in the story in order to make this more of a reality for her, so I asked;
“Kit, what would a lion do if it saw a calf today?"
I was attempting to engage her in the story in order to make this more of a reality for her, so I asked;
“Kit, what would a lion do if it saw a calf today?"
“It would eat him!”
“You're exactly right Kit. Now, what would you do if you saw a lion in our back yard?”
Without a moment’s hesitation Kit replied, “I would run!”
“Me too! Well in heaven, we want have to be afraid of the lion because he will be our friend”
Kit considered this for a moment, I could just see the wheels were turning, and as her face lit up with realization, She replied,
“OOH! I get it. In heaven, Cats won't scratch, birds won't peck, And lobsters won't pinch!”
“OOH! I get it. In heaven, Cats won't scratch, birds won't peck, And lobsters won't pinch!”
