How often in our lives do we look for comfort, do we seek to feel better about the world, especially our little piece of the world? Is your world falling apart today, do you feel alone or rejected? Oh, dear friend, this too is part of life, part of growing strong in faith and part of developing a personal testimony God can use.
It is good to know that God doesn't leave us alone during these seasons. When we look around us we can find people God has placed in our lives who will understand our problems. We can also gain comfort by reaching out and grabbing hold of God himself. His Word in this Isaiah text is meant to comfort us and to provide hope for tomorrow.
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the LORD;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
It has been a year since my world began to fall apart, a year since life as I knew it began to change. If I did not have The Living Hope to reach out for, everything would be much different now. Because of God and the faith I have in His goodness I can claim the scripture above as mine. "Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low..."
We are all invited to draw near to God and experience His comfort.
