The Word of the Lord

December 8th

Prepare The Way of The Lord

“ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”
Isaiah 40:3 (ESV)

Daily Devotional

December 8th

John the Baptist has been referred to many times as the forerunner of the messiah.  When he was asked who he was, He quoted from Isaiah saying he is the voice. Isaiah 40:3 He went on to say that the One that comes after him is before him and he is not worthy to untie His shoes. Matthew 3:11

Who is John speaking of?  He speaks of The LORD.  Our God.

We can busy ourselves with cleaning, preparing food, clearing space for guests and so forth.  As we prepare ourselves during this holiday season, take some time to prepare for the coming King.

How do we prepare for The King?  

Spend time with Jesus.  Open His Word, and see what He has for you.

A woman named Martha welcomed Jesus into her house.  As Martha went about busing herself with serving, she complained that her sister Mary was not helping.  Mary was spending time with Jesus.  In this scripture, Jesus tells us what He wants.  He wants you to spend time with Him. Luke 10:39-42
