Quote of the Day (Book of Isaiah, on the Tree of Jesse)

“A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;

    from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—

    the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,

    the Spirit of counsel and of might,

    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord

and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.” —Isaiah 11: 11-3
