Road Work

A voices 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 people shall see it together; 

for the mouth of the LORD has spoken. 

Isaiah 40:3-5  

   

The last thing I remember hearing in a series of chaotic dreams this morning was the opening lines to this passage.  As I stirred to waking consciousness, I began to think of our struggles and sorrows as preparing or clearing the way.  Hopefully, we learn to trust this road work as we make a path in and and to the boundless frontier that is God's love. Once the way is made somewhat clear, we will surely see that we have been there all along.  

 

Be strengthened in your journey.  Come, let us clear the way together.
