—Isaiah 40:1-5
by: Angie Osborn.
This passage convicted me: do I work hard for the Lord? It is so easy in our society to work hard and end up virtually nowhere. Our focus should be on doing the work of the Lord and bringing glory to him in all that we do and say. Could something be approached with a more positive attitude; could day-to-day tasks that seem mundane to me be done for his glory?
My sin is paid for and the Lord does give blessings that more than double my multiple sins. At the end of my earthly life, when I meet Christ face to face, there truly will be comfort as he says: Comfort, comfort, your hard service has been completed and your sins are paid for (vs. 1 and 2, paraphrased)!
