Dear readers, instead of my normal post today, I will share this popular poem from my past blog. I have been busy this week with a different project, but I will return to a normal writing schedule next week.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy today’s devotional poem. Blessings to you!
You lift me up
in the valley of despair
above shadowy sorrows
downcast discouragement
ground-level grief.
You flatten my mountains
of pharisaical pride
arrogant accomplishment
puffed-up knowledge.
You level my rough spots:
habitual temptations
chronic conflicts
persistent flaws.
Your glory shines forth
through all the cracks
in this earthen vessel.
Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed and all people will see it together.
Isaiah 40:4-5a NIV
