Isaiah 35:8-10 NLT
8 And a great road will go through that once deserted land.
It will be named the Highway of Holiness.
Evil-minded people will never travel on it.
It will be only for those who walk in God’s ways;
fools will never walk there.
9 Lions will not lurk along its course,
nor any other ferocious beasts.
There will be no other dangers.
Only the redeemed will walk on it.
10 Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.
They will enter Jerusalem singing,
crowned with everlasting joy.
Sorrow and mourning will disappear,
and they will be filled with joy and gladness.
“Walk with your feet on earth, but in your heart be in heaven.” – St. John Bosco
Reflection:
We invite you to remember a road of restoration or redemption in your own life. Or perhaps you’re walking one now? Can you imagine what it looks like? Was it a desert road or one through a busy city? Daytime or night? How did you feel as you walked along the road of restoration or redemption? Where did you see God moving?
Give gratitude for the time of restoration or redemption on your journey.
