Week 3 Monday

75093_10151375603749919_1805684284_nS- Luke 3:5-6 "Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all people will see God’s salvation.’”'

O- I sort of struggled to understand what these verses meant.  So, I pulled out my study Bible and it is much more clear!  And I actually understood it more than I thought.  Before a king made a journey, the roads were improved.  Preparation for Jesus was made in a spiritual and moral way by John's ministry, which focused on repentance and forgiveness of sin and the need for a Savior.  Salvation was made known to ALL people.

A- Jesus makes our paths straight.  "In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:6.  He forgives our sin.  And he paid the penalty for us.  Through Jesus we have salvation.  Salvation is available to all who repent and put their faith in Jesus!

P- Thank you Jesus that I can trust you even when I don't understand.  Thank you that you make my paths straight.  Thank you that I can lean on you when things get bumpy.  Thank you for my salvation through you.  You are perfect.  In your name I pray, Amen.
