SCRIPTURE: Mark 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
OBSERVATION: John the Baptist was the voice crying in the wilderness and his message was “Prepare ye the way of the Lord…”
APPLICATION: I can take it as my assignment. There are those around me that the Lord wants to use me to “prepare the way of the Lord.”
There are so many ways that God can use us to “prepare the way” for our family, friends, acquaintances, fellow workers, etc. to be open to listening to the convicting voice of the Holy Spirit.
God is using the SOAPs and the people distributing the SOAPs to “prepare the way of the Lord!” People pray and people give; people print and people distribute the printed SOAPs. People’s eyes of faith are opened, and they put their faith in Jesus. Jesus moves into their heart and changes their lives!
PRAYER: Lord, may I act and speak in such a way that causes those around me to be prepared to receive you when you call them. Amen.

Personal note: Sharon and I are back home from a celebration trip for our 58th wedding anniversary. Because my computer had been invaded by unwanted hackers, I left it with people who checked it out and removed unwanted files. Praise the Lord. Tomorrow I must finish working to repair some financial files. Join me in giving thanks to the Lord for His protection on the files in this laptop. And join me in asking the Lord for his protecting hand upon all the laptops being used in the SOAP ministry. No one knows how many laptops and printers printing SOAPs are active. Usually, they are purchased from second-hand shops, but we have had very little trouble with them. The SOAP ministry is God’s ministry, and He has proved Himself faithful in provision and protection. 😊
