- As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’” Luke 3:4-6 – How has God prepared the way for you to share His good news message? What mountains has He leveled and valleys has He filled in order for you to share His message like He’s called you to do? Has He removed fears? Has He blessed you with relationships? Has He given you access to His Word to learn? If so, let’s ask ourselves a question. If God has made our paths this straight to share His love and live for Him, why are we not much of the time? Look today at how God has made it possible for you to share His love and take advantage today of the paths He has made. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 608
- And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” 11 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 13 And he said to them, “Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.” Luke 3:10-14 – So many were coming to John, and as we see here, they were coming for more than baptism. They were coming for direction now on how to properly live their lives for the Lord. Common people, tax collectors, and even soldiers were coming seeking to discover how to live faithfully for the Lord. Notice with each group John had a direction to give them and didn’t push away their seeking hearts. This reveals to us that whatever position we may find ourselves in there is a way to live holy and obedient to the Lord within it. You don’t have to be an overseas missionary or work in an orphanage to faithfully follow the Lord with your life (note both of those would be amazing places for you to serve in though!). If you are an accountant, teacher, stay-at-home mom, leader, or grandpa, God has made it clear not only is there way for us to live faithfully for Him in those roles, there is an expectation of it. Pray, read scripture, and discover how in your unique role and season of life you can live this blessing of life out best for Jesus. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2320
