The verses in Isaiah are really speaking to my heart lately. I hope the Lord will draw you closer to Him through His word. This is just what the Lord showed me in these verses, you may see something different.
vs.1 '' Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.''
vs.2 '' Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath recieved of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.''
vs.3 '' The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.''
vs.4 '' Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight , and the rough places plain.
I really believe as a christian, God is truly the only one who can comfort our hearts with a peace that can't ever be explained, not properly enough. Even sometimes even in the Bible or Hymns. I think everyone does a great job trying, but no one can truly compehend He has done and can do for us. Wow, amazing to think all Jerusalem has been through, and than to say,'' her iniquity is pardoned.'' That makes me think of my sins and how by the grace of God, '' He has forgiven me for all my sins''. How the Lord has pardoned me for, '' all my sins and for all my mistakes'', it really wipes our slates clean. Doesn't it ?
I also feel burdened that we need to , ''Prepare our way for the Lord, everyday.''How sometimes we get lost or desperate about our sin and we either let it stay there taking over our lives or our very being, just because we chose to ignore it! But what would happen if the Lord ignored us at the cross that day. Where would we be? We'd be lost in sin and condemned to live our eternity in hell. So we need to, '' Make straight a desert in the highway for our God. Awesome to say, ''Our God''. So basically I am to say is get ready for your God. God made a perfect plan for us called, Salvation and if we are already saved than He has an even sweeter plan for us now and to make our crooked ways straight and rough places plain. A straight place to walk to. By the grace of God, may we rise up the occasion and let the Lord use you and I.
