ESAYA 40:1-5SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

In the parched and dusty desert, Isaiah is given a message to tell the people to make straight their path.

They are asked to make a highway for God.

A highway! Anybody who has been in desert conditions knows that it is difficult to know where you are going because the sand keeps moving. God in this passage is comforting the people to build and make clear God’s path. We are called to pave the way and show our people God’s word that will help them to get through the shifting sands of life.
