A voice cries out:‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3
These are familiar words of Advent. Whether they start me thinking of Handel’s “Messiah” or all of the Christmas preparations I need to make, this verse of Isaiah always brings my thoughts to Advent. Though the words are almost too familiar, take a moment to pick a word or phrase from this scripture that speaks to you this Advent season.
Voice
Cries

Where are you being led this Advent? Share the word of scripture from above that speaks to you, in the comments portion of the blog.
Loving God, Help us to listen for a voice to us in Advent. Be with us—in the wilderness, the desert, or wherever we are, as we prepare to celebrate your Son’s birth. Amen.

Desert Highway sounds good to me.
Thanks for reminding me that Advent is a great spiritual practice of introspection!
Can't wait for that Light to be reborn.
