The voice of one

The voice of one:

8.10.15

John 1:23 "he said "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make His paths straight."

John 1:29 "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world"

It struck me as I read John 1 this morning that the landscape of this world has grown so dark.  "Gloriously dark" as Adrian Rogers called it.  Society is moving more and more towards sin and immorality and many, many Christians have either been sucked up in this very vacuum or have grown numb and lukewarm in their walk.

At one point, John the Baptist was a lone voice crying out. In fact, when the Pharicees questioned him, they asked if he was the Christ. We see his answer in 1:23 I'm a voice crying out....Prepare the way of the Lord.

Are you a voice crying out? This dark world needs voices, Christians who will cry out in today's dark wilderness and point others to Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

The enemy wants us all to think its pointless, or that it's embarrassing and thus he shames us into silence.

Draw close to Jesus today! He's the reason for the Hope within us and with His Spirit filling us, we have the courage and strength we need to be lights in the darkness......VOICES!!

Be a voice today....even if you feel you're the only one.. Just do it .... One voice.... crying out in this wilderness!  

May God grant us the strength and courage to walk boldly with Him today!
