The King is Coming!

“Make straight in the desert a highway for our God

Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill

Made low; the uneven ground shall become level,

and the rough places a plain”

How wasteful it seems to make a highway in the desert!

Why would anyone need a highway there?

After all, who would use it?

The coyotes and the road runners and the desert rattlers?

And yet, there is a desert in my heart

There is a desert in my soul

It begs for the quenching Living Water

The desert in my heart and soul is guarded by mountains and hills

They seem to make it difficult for grace to enter

It is plagued by uneven ground that I fear will make it hard

For the chariot of my King to enter

And yet, I know the King is coming

Oh yes, He will come at the End

To set all things right

But He is also coming today,

Right now, this very moment

The mountains and hills are no obstacles for Him

The King laughs at uneven ground and deep valleys

After all, the King created Everything from Nothing!

Nothing will stop Him from blessing us with His Presence

Nothing will stop His Power to set things right,

not just in the world,

But in my heart,

In my soul

Prepare the way of the Lord!

The only one delaying it

Is me.

So, build the highway,

Pray the prayer,

Take the Holy Sacrament,

For the King is Coming!
