A Voice Calling...

Luke 3:4-6
Isaiah had spoken of John when he said "He is a voice shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord's coming! Clear the road for Him! The valleys will be filled, and the mountains and hills made level. The curves will be straightened, and the rough places made smooth. And then all people will see the salvation sent from God.' "

Looking deeper into the scriptures, I believe the Lord speaks volumes to us!  Jesus already was in the beginning and came to earth as a baby and we are in the middle of celebrating that amazing story right now!!!  But things did not end there, Jesus grew and had a ministry here on earth and showed us how to love and live and then WENT ALL THE WAY to the CROSS for you and for me, He took our sin upon Himself and gave us life and gave us life more abundantly.  But things still didn't end there,  He rose again on the third day and now sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven interceding for you and for me.  I believe He is that Voice speaking to us now, trying to fill the valleys in our lives and move the mountains and hills in our way, and straighten the curves that get thrown our way and smooth the rough places that arise in our lives.  And the reason is to bring Glory to His name!!  To show that He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, to show there was a reason why He came for us.  Victory is ours through Jesus.  So that we might see the "salvation sent from God"!  


Drown out the voices that try screaming louder in your mind and the lies that tell you you don't matter, Jesus died for you, receive Him and trust Him, give Him the mountains and the valleys, and trust Him through those hard times, He is faithful and His promises are true!! 

And the even greater NEWS!! HE IS COMING BACK!  So just like the scripture says, "Prepare the way for the Lord's COMING!"
