tonight involved a very interesting conversation about how God has been leading and challenging. any conversation with that as the topic has got to be good! tonight was definitely good. later, as i set down to read and study, i was lead to a passage and to some thoughts that i wanted to share…

isaiah 40:3-5

Clear the way through the wilderness for the LORD! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God! Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills. Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places. Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together. (NLT)

the first thought that comes to my mind is that i can’t clear something or make something in a place that i am not willing to go. i have to GO to the…

wilderness, wasteland, and the rough places

the second is that God revealing His glory, is contingent on you and i being willing to go and do what He has for us to do.

the third is that my willingness to go and to do what God has for me, affects far more than just me.

so the question is, where is the wilderness, the wasteland, or the rough place that God has for me to be going? in 2012 i want to make sure that i go there, wherever it is. because that is where i can experience God’s glory. i can experience Him. and not just so that i can, so that “all people will see it”.

what about you? where are you supposed to go? will you go? will you experience Him in 2012?
