September 17 - Jon Courson Devotion Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 40:4-5 The valley of depression, discouragement, and defeat needs to be filled in. The mountain of pride and prayerlessness and haughtiness needs to be taken down. The crooked place of errors needs to be straightened out. And the rough places of irritation need to be made smooth. I don’t have time to be in the valley of depression or to feel sorry for myself. I’ve got work to do. I don’t have a right to be proud or irritated because I have a job to do. We need to forget about our own problems and pain, hurts and heartaches. We need to realize that we have the same call John the Baptist did: to prepare a way in the wilderness of this world for Jesus.
