Scripture lesson: Isaiah 40:3-5 The coming of God

Time to reflect: Isaiah knew God was coming, he just didn't know the details (like Jesus' name). He didn't even know how this understanding of his would be played out. So there is a difference between this grand set of figures and its actuation in Jesus (no valleys were actually raised).

Moving Through The Day: Thinking metaphorically, rather than literally, how was the coming of Jesus equivalent to these figures in this passage?

My son, pay attention to what I say;
       listen closely to my words.

  Do not let them out of your sight,
       keep them within your heart;

  for they are life to those who find them
       and health to a man's whole body.

 Above all else, guard your heart,
       for it is the wellspring of life.
