Which region did he go to?
ALL of them.
I love it. God doesn't send John to some of the regions -- he sent him to all, crying out for people to prepare their hearts. The imagery of filled valleys and lowered mountains is used, pointing people to the reality that the landscape looks different when God is King. There are no more obstacles between us and God -- it is a level plain, and we are invited to dwell in the fullness of God's Kingdom. What a privilege, to no longer be lost in the valleys. What a joy, to no longer have to scale the mountains. The road is straight, so that we might see and experience the salvation of God.
What preparation do you need in your heart? What valleys or mountains in your life need to be changed so that the fullness of grace might enter in?
