Advent Art 3- The Way is filled with Wonders

made on my ipad

Sometimes I have read or heard the same story so many times that I no longer listen. I think this is especially true at Christmas.

My meditation today was Isaiah 40:1-11 " In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord..." I know this verse by memory and have enjoyed the drama that Handel gave to it in The Messiah. But today I understood it.

Today I understood that Isaiah was declaring that all would become level- the valley would rise up + be made level with the mountains that would be made low. All the rough terrain would be flat like a plain. And then the Glory of the Lord would be revealed. He would come so all people could see Him together.

The Way was made straight so we could clearly hear Him, our eyes have a level plain of sight to see Him and there are no ruts or mountains to climb when we run to Him. All mankind has a straight unobstructed path to Him.

So what more do I need to do this Season than to follow the glow of His glory and enjoy the wonders He has placed along the way.
