经文：以赛亚书2:4
【赛2:4】祂必在列国中施行审判，为许多国民断定是非。他们要将刀打成犁头，把枪打成镰刀。这国不举刀攻击那国；他们也不再学习战事。
灵修分享
以赛亚描绘了一幅和平的图画：在神公义的治理下，人们把伤害生命的兵器，变成栽种和收割的农具。
这幅图画也提醒我们省察人与人之间的关系。受到伤害时，我们容易想反击，用尖锐的话保护自己，却让彼此的伤口越来越深。
“将刀打成犁头”，可以从今天的一句话、一个选择开始：把指责变成坦诚的沟通，把争辩变成耐心的聆听，把报复的念头交托给神，让关系有修复的机会。
和好并不表示忽略伤害，也需要诚实、悔改与合宜的界限。我们可以先放下伤害对方的心，靠着神的恩典，踏出寻求和平的一步。
今日默想
我是否仍握着一把不肯放下的“刀”？今天，我可以怎样让自己的言语成为修复关系的工具？
Let Go of Revenge, Move Toward Reconciliation
Date: 22 October 2026
Scripture: Isaiah 2:4
“He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”
Devotional Reflection
Isaiah paints a picture of peace: under God’s righteous rule, people turn weapons that destroy life into tools for planting and harvesting.
This picture also invites us to examine our relationships. When we are hurt, we may want to strike back. We protect ourselves with sharp words, only to deepen the wounds between us.
“Beating swords into plowshares” can begin with a word or a choice today: replacing accusations with honest conversation, arguments with patient listening, and thoughts of revenge with trust in God—giving the relationship an opportunity to heal.
Reconciliation does not mean overlooking harm. It also requires honesty, repentance, and appropriate boundaries. We can begin by letting go of the desire to hurt the other person and, through God’s grace, taking a step toward peace.
Today’s Reflection
Am I still holding on to a “sword” that I am unwilling to lay down? How can my words become tools for restoring relationships today?
