PREPARE THE WAY

A voice of one calling: “Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. The Lord’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”” (Isaiah‬ ‭40:3-5 WEB‬)

The picture here is preparing a highway for the Lord’s coming, which would involve the removal of all obstacles in the way to make a clear path. In Matthew 3:1-8, John makes it clear that repentance is necessary to prepare the way for Christ. So, the real preparation is actually in our hearts.

Building a highway is much like the preparation that must take place in our hearts because they’re both expensive, they both deal with many different problems and environments, and, they both take an expert engineer. Thank you Lord that you not only paid the expense, but YOU are the one with me and the one at work in me. I can do nothing without you.
