I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 40:4 , “Every valley shall be exalted. And every mountain and hill shall be made low. The crooked places shall be made straight. And the rough places smooth. ”
From the above context we come to understand that God will exalt the low valleys, and straighten all the crooked places of our life. He will smoothen the rough places and elevate the low levels of our life.
Every valley shall be exalted – That is, every valley, or low piece of ground, shall be filled up so as to make a level highway, as it was done in order to facilitate the march of Israel armies. It means simply that the impassable valleys were to be filled up so as to make a level road for their safe journey. The army had to march through the valley and the mountain side. The general idea is that all obstructions were to be removed, so that the march would be without embarrassment. This is also applicable to the opinions, habits, conduct, in the pride, self-confidence, and irreligion of the nation that would prevent cordial relationship among the Israelites and others surrounding nations. So every mountain had to be levelled. They shall be dug down so as to make the journey easy. And when the eastern princes marched through desert countries, ways were prepared for them, and hindrances were removed.
Satan is the strong man armed; but our Lord Jesus is stronger; and He shall proceed, and do all that He purposes to do for you in your life. Christ is the good Shepherd; He shows tender care for His sheep. God will strengthen that you May know your Shepherd’s voice, and follow Him, proving yourselves as His sheep. God is mindful of you. He loves you. You are precious in His sight. Therefore He always sends His angels to protect you, that your foot may not slip. He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
God has put a mark on your foreheads. The seal of God is on your forehead. The Lord says that He will make you like a signet ring and has chosen you to be His own to be His priceless possession. To be His signet ring which means we are in a covenant with God. When we walk with God in right perspective, then we will receive all the blessings. Your descendants will also be blessed. You will prosper in every area of your life. Never think that you are finished when you are caught up in the midst of problems. Never think you have come to the end of your life because of your problems. God is able to make a new beginning in your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank You for lifting us from every difficulty (valley), of our life and exalting us to a higher level. Lord You level the road for our safe journey through the valley and the mountain side. And You have straightened the ‹crooked‘ and rough places that we may enjoy the goodness of God in the land of the living. Thank You Lord for solving all our problems that was like mountains in our life.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
