So far this week we have looked at what we are supposed to be doing while we are waiting on God. Honestly God isn’t calling us to do a whole lot of waiting. Instead He actually expects us to be pretty busy.
Read Isaiah 40:3-6 and journal your thoughts
How many times have you read this verse or heard this verse talked about as what God is going to do when He returns? Try re-reading those verses and look again at who is doing all the work.
Did you catch it, it’s not God that is preparing the way for Himself, it’s us. We’re the ones who are supposed to preparing the way for God. We are the one who are supposed to be preparing this place for His arrival, not the other way around.
This week we’ve talked about the various things God wants us to do in those times when we’re waiting. We’ve talked about living lives of service and love and when we do these things, we begin to prepare the way for the Lord with our lives. We begin to shine hope for those in the most barren wilderness, we begin to make the most rocky path flat and easy. One day God will return to dwell with His people, and it’s our job to get the place ready for Him.
Today pray that God would help you to see that even the smallest act of love and kindness plays a giant role in building His Kingdom here on earth.
