Six verses of the 31 in chapter 40 are what we’re going to look at today. Are you waiting for the glory and majesty and splendor of the Lord to be revealed? Yes, yes, yes, Lord. The best ever news is all humanity shall see it together!
So let’s pray:
Father, You have such a wonderful plan for our future and Jesus’ return and I can’t help but want to see it so I’m so grateful Your promises say I will see it. Lead us today and help us really see what all is written in these six verses. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
Please read Isaiah 40:3-8 – Amplified Bible
Clear the Way for the glory and majesty and splendor of our God
3 A voice of one is calling out,
“Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness
[remove the obstacles];
Make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
4Every valley shall be raised,
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And let the rough ground become a plain,
And the rugged places a broad valley.
5And the glory and majesty and splendor of the Lord will be revealed,
And all humanity shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.”
6 A voice says, “Call out [prophesy].”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”
[The voice answered:] All humanity is [as frail as] grass, and all that makes it attractive [its charm, its loveliness] is [momentary] like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades,
When the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Most certainly [all] the people are [like] grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.
It’s entirely possible the land will all be smooth and broad like a broad valley one day. After all, the Lord has spoken it so it will happen. Flat land will rise up, mountains will lower and it’ll be a wholly different earth one day.
All of us are like grass. Like flowers of the field. But God is different. God is Omnipotent. And His word stands forever. Praise the Lord.
