“Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting, “Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God!”
Isaiah 40:3 NLT
Luke refers to this verse in Luke 3:4 in reference to what John the Baptist was proclaiming. John called people to repentance in preparation for Jesus. Jesus was the focus. People’s hearts needed to be repentant and cleansed from sin in order to receive the truth of what Jesus was about to preach. Unfortunstely, many were not prepared. In seeing they did not see and in hearing they did not hear.
Now, is a good time to come to repentance from our own works to faith in Jesus’. We cannot save ourselves from a hellish eternity, only Jesus can. We cannot heal our hearts, only Jesus can. We cannot make all things new, only Jesus can.
Today I must walk by faith in the Son of God. He is my savour, my ability to understand Nepali, He is my ears today! Today I have an exam. I have diligently studied but there are so many foreign words I must trust Hm who created the words to be my understanding. Amen!
Only faith pleases God! I will use my faith! Amen!
