In chapter 40, Isaiah points out a voice calling out in the wilderness, what a wilderness this year has been! He points out deserts, valleys, mountains and hills, wastelands, rough ground, rugged places. I see all these in someway in these past COVID seasons. The voice though is a voice of hope that creates expectation of the glory of God appearing.
Years later, an actual voice in the person of John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness calling out for repentance, preparing the way for Jesus. It is my view that the advent of Christmas should be a ‘prepare the way of the Lord’ call. Lift valleys, lower mountains, that the King of glory should walk on it.
To all families and peoples who have had it rough, and their lives valleyed and financial monsters gazing at them like high mountains, there is hope in God. Let the King be born again, with him, the valleys of tears become streams of joy, he asks, who are you Mountain before the spirit of the Lord you will become a plain land, and to the dry bones, they will stand up as a strong army.
Stretch out your arms and embrace the son, and the sun will rise out on your darkened life. The light of the world celebrated globally, seeks to be enthroned in your personal heart and family.
