The Rough Places
People’s hopes were rising as they all wondered whether John was the Messiah. John replied to all of them, “I baptize you with water. But the one who is more powerful than I is coming. I am not worthy to untie his sandal straps. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing shovel is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor. He will gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn the husks in a fire that can never be put out.” Luke 3:15-17 GW As you go through your daily travels, look back to your stops and interruptions. See if I was there? Was it me who drew your attention to those places and faces? I am there with you. Now allow me to lead you through those rough places. Wait and listen for me.
