Today I am to read from Isaiah 40:1-5 then reflect on what I think the passage meant to God's people when it was written, and the meaning for me today...
I think that God's people may have gotten a sense of relief and comfort by knowing that their time for comfort has finally come. There is a promise by God that seems to proclaim a joyous event. Not only would it be a comfort, but also a humbling experience.
For me personally, I to am humbled. Particularly by verse 5, in that I eagerly anticipate the glory of the Lord to appear and all of humanity will experience it. This is part of my hope in that Generation Church not only points people to this glory but is a factor to which His glory is revealed by the things we do, how we reach out to people, how we serve, how we worship, and how we connect with others.
I don't want to sit on the sidelines as the highway through the desert is being built, I want to help build it and move people to God.
Now is the time, and we are the people...
