"As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.'" ESV
John grew, staying in the desert to prepare for his mission. He attracted crowds with the message of repentance and getting ready for the soon coming Christ. By the grace and mercy of God, He gives us a the message, a voice to open our hearts and minds to His plan. When John had used his heart and his voice to prepare those who would hear, he decreased. He dropped out of the limelight so the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, could be the shining Star.
Heavenly Father, we are so blessed with the gifts You give so that we can be witnesses to the Gospel. Forgive us for being so caught up in our successful ministries that we fail to remember who the only Star of this life really is. In His precious name we pray, Amen.
