Jan 4th - Prepare the Way Luke 3

Luke 3:4-6

 ⁴As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; ⁶And all flesh shall see the salvation of God

John's job was to prepare the way for the Lord.  God didn't tell John that he needed to get 100 people baptized.  He said just make ready for Jesus to come.  John was to help make all the paths straight.  He was to fill in the valleys, bring down the mountains, straighten the crooked paths and make the rough ways smooth.

Are you preparing the way?  What has God asked you to help with in 2011 to prepare for the coming of the Lord?  Even if you are praying for someone you are preparing the way.  Pray today to ask God to show you how He wants you to help to prepare the way.
