Day 3: Preparing the Way

Luke Chapter 3

Luke chapter 3 centers on John the Baptist, the one who prepares the way for the Lord. His message is straightforward and stirring. Repent, return to God, make your heart ready for what He is about to do. John reminds the people that faith is not only belief but transformation. It is a turning, a realignment, a clearing of the path.

John’s words echo into our own lives. We often long for God to move, yet we leave the road cluttered with worry, distractions, and habits that pull us away from Him. John’s call is a gentle reminder that preparation is an act of love. When we make room for God, we create space for peace, clarity, and purpose.

This chapter also reminds us that Jesus steps into baptism with humility. Although He is without sin, He chooses to walk fully in our experience. And as He rises from the water, heaven opens and the Spirit descends. It is a moment of divine affirmation, showing that obedience always draws us closer to the heart of the Father.

Today, reflect on what it means to prepare the way. What can you lay down, clear out, or surrender so God can move freely in your life?
