Today's reading begins with "Woe to those who make unjust laws, (or don't uphold the just ones) to those who issue oppressive decrees..."   

Isaiah tells us that when God brings down His hand of discipline, a remnant will be saved.  As we asked in the Sunday School class yesterday, will we (and you) be the remnant? 

Isaiah 11:9a
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

Can our imaginations be that big? Can we even begin to wrap our minds around the earth being full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea?

How can we have that knowledge? He’s pretty clear in His Word.

Prov 2:1-6
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

But acquiring His knowledge is proactive! We must do something! Accept Him, store up His commands, turn our ear, apply our heart, call out, cry aloud, look for it and search for it! That’s how we get His knowledge. Do you think if everyone on earth followed this passage of Scripture, the earth would be full of the knowledge of the Lord? How could it not???

"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation."   
Jesus is the "living water" and only through Him do we have salvation, but we must draw the water, we must seek Him.  Yesterday, we were reminded that we must "Seek him and live"
