READING: Isaiah 40:1-5
Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her
that she has served her term,
that her penalty is paid, that she has received from
the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.
Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her
that she has served her term,
that her penalty is paid, that she has received from
the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.
Isaiah 40: 1-2
A father speaks tenderly to his child. “Don’t worry. Everything will be all right. I have taken care of everything. Get ready for a miracle. I’m going to remove every obstacle so that you and all the world will see how much I love you.”
God sends messengers in the difficult times of our lives with proclamations of comfort, redemption and hope. We are asked to make a clear path for His presence with us by preparing our hearts and lives to be open and free of the everyday clutter so that we are focused and ready for what He has planned. When we prepare a dedicated space for God in our lives, nothing can stand in the way of the wonderful things He will do for us and how they will serve as witness to the world of His amazing power and love.
In these difficult times, it is easy to get side tracked by the clutter of work, finances, world issues and busy agendas. But God promises that if we focus on Him first, none of these things are too big or too little for Him to handle. He will be there to guide and comfort us when we need Him. He is asking us to prepare for His gift of infinite love and power through His Son, Jesus. Are you ready for a miracle?
Dear Lord, help us all to prepare for the Lord’s coming, the gift of his love and the miracle of his birth. Amen
