“A voice cries out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.
Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’” - Isaiah 40: 3-5
Inhale: “Glory”
Exhale: “Revealed.”
Breathe in and breathe out God’s word throughout the day in short pauses.
The great outdoors holds a stunning portrait of God’s glory breaking into the rural wilderness and the urban jungles around us. When was the last time you were in awe of the world’s beauty around you? Take the time to watch God paint a beautiful sunrise or sunset before your eyes. Go for a short walk during your lunch break and let the crisp air awaken your senses.
The glory of the Lord is revealed in magnificent ways if we will just slow down and take it in with our whole being. Make room today for the glory of the Lord to break in and begin to straighten the crooked paths, lift up the lowest valleys of your heart, move the obstacles of spiritual mountains, and smooth out the rough places in our chaotic lives.
Dear God, open my eyes to see creation preparing the way of the Lord. Reveal your glory to me today in powerful ways. Amen.
