Make Way
Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. —Isaiah 40:3
Dwight D. Eisenhower was known for his courageous leadership during World War II. His battle-tested skill equipped the troops to reclaim Europe. Soon after returning to the US as a hero, he was elected president.
While in Europe, Eisenhower had experienced the danger and difficulty of navigating the twisting roads. So, for the sake of US national security, he commissioned a network of roads that became the nation’s interstate highway system. Mountains were tunneled through and valleys were traversed by mammoth bridges.
In ancient times, conquering kings gained access to newly acquired territories through highways built for their troops. Isaiah had this in mind when he declared, “Make straight in the desert a highway for our God” (Isa. 40:3). And John the Baptist called people to repentance to “prepare the way” into their hearts for the arrival of King Jesus.
What preparation needs to be done to allow Jesus unhindered access to your own heart? Are there rough places of bitterness that need the bulldozer of forgiveness? Are there valleys of complaining that need to be filled with contentment? We can’t afford to neglect this spiritual engineering. Let’s prepare the way for the King!
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way;
He works in ways we cannot see,
He will make a way for me. —Moen

Good morning, Rus! Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend together!
Are you enjoying pretty weather up there? We’re getting rain,
and after having only had 1 inch for the year, it is the
perfect weather for us right now!

Finding the perfect graphic makes a world of difference. You did it with the Navajo rug!
When I found the poem - I knew that was ‘it’!
I know that feeling so well. If it's perfect I almost hear the 'click' when the match is right.

Happy memorial day to all as you celebrate & honor those who have passed in your own way

Another Caturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money ‘cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
I got in town a month ago
I've seen a lot of “Toms” since then
If I could meet ‘em I could get ‘em
But as yet I haven't met ‘em
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in
Chorus:
Oh, another Caturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money ‘cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Happy Caturday!
I have to post and run...I enjoyed all of the pretty posts just now! I'll try to get back soon! (Going after strawberries to fix for cook-out tomorrow evening)
