The Heart's Rough Places
"Comfort, comfort my people," says your God. In the midst of a weary world, the voice of the prophet Isaiah rings out across the centuries, calling us into the wilderness to prepare a highway for our King. But this preparation is not a matter of earth and stone; it is a matter of the soul. We all carry a spiritual geography—uneven terrain marked by the "rough places" of our human condition. While the glory of nations fades like withered grass, the Word of our God stands forever, promising that the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. As we worship today, let us quiet our hearts to behold the Shepherd who comes with power to rule and a gentle arm to gather His lambs.
Sermon Text: Isaiah 40:1-11
