Isaiah 40:1-11 A People Far from Home
“Get you up to a high mountain, Lift up
your voice with strength...” How many times have we been on vacation in a
mountainous area and we look out, look down and all around. It is a glorious
day and we feel like shouting out to anyone who will listen. Praise God for
this wonderful experience and I feel like I could stay here forever!
Then we climb down the mountain or drive
down in our car and when we reach the bottom we see nothing but tree limbs and
grass and road. We slip back into our same routines and go on with our lives.
We forget how majestic the view was and how wonderful it made you feel.
Each and every day we are so blessed with
those wonderful feelings, but we hardly pay any attention to them. We have our
family around us. Our church family as well. We are not far from home anymore.
I was raised in Hershey PA and I am now far from home, but I have the memories
of family and friends that will never be forgotten.
Lord we ask you to always watch over us, No
matter if we are far from home or just down the street. Remember us in your
glory and keep us forever mindful of your presence. In your name we
pray...Amen.
