“A voice cries out, “Prepare in the wilderness a road for the Lord! Clear the way in the desert for our God!” Isaiah 40:3 GNT
In the world, there are many voices, ordained by God, crying out and creating paths that link divinity with humanity. It’s a big assignment that comes with a lot of responsibility and eventually, fulfilment. Most of all, it is a privilege to be one of the voices.Are you one of such voices? We have one ultimate link to God and that is Jesus Christ. Every other voice that God raises only uses this link to lead a specific subset of people to God.God is always raising people. He has given you and me a message so we can be the voices in places that are void of God’s presence.Messages don’t spread themselves. They don’t get heard with closed mouths. Distinct sounds must be made so that those who need to hear and act can do so.What sounds are you making? Can people recognise your sound?The Holy Spirit constantly helps willing hearts to become all God wants them to be, and that includes becoming homing signals that beep away so that those who hear it know where home is.
How can we use work as a tool that creates paths to God?
There’s no straight answer to this question because God’s wisdom has diverse applications. One thing God desires is a willing heart. Do you have the right disposition towards the work you do? Do you know why you do it?It’s okay to not have figured out how your work can be the voice others need. Some are fortunate to figure this out at the beginning, and others figure it out along the way.If John the Baptist had decided he wasn’t going to be the voice, this anchor scripture would have referenced someone else. But he was willing, and God empowered him.You may not know it yet, but you have also been empowered. Since you know this, asking, “How can I spread the message of God’s love today?” will set you in the right direction.
“Professionally, I am a …………. To use this as a tool to create a clear path through Jesus, I must start……..”
Some artists use painting or music to alleviate depression. Some financial advisors use God’s wisdom to help people experience financial abundance. Some Doctors work as channels for the healing power of God. Some sales reps ensure that everyone who meets them at the counter leaves the mall feeling loved by someone.It all boils down to the meaning attached to what you do. This meaning forms your message. So, take some notes and create your path.
