—Isaiah 40:1-5
by: Linda Lawton.
Living in the Colorado mountains, I know about peaks and valleys. It is difficult to escape the ups and downs, even when walking about our neighborhood. Any time we take a walk, we try to plan so that most of the uphill is on the outward journey, and the homeward trek is mostly downhill. In this passage, the prophet spoke of the valleys being lifted up and the mountains being brought down to make a level path for the Lord, easy to travel. Sin has come between God and His people, but in Christ, the glory of the Lord will be revealed and our path to Him is only as difficult as we make it.
