Yep, that&#39;s basically what the commentator Matthew Henry said. I read all those good thoughts from him before really giving myself time to let the Scripture roll around in my mouth (brain) a while. Phooey! But yet good to know that I was sorta on the right track. Mr. Henry had an interesting take on the valleys and the hills -- he said that that part was an extension of the preparing, in us: the despondent (valley) should look forward to Jesus&#39; coming and should build up hope; the prideful (hills &amp; mountains) should humble themselves. The passage makes much more sense to me now.<br /><br />And yes, I was hearing an operatic lady voice in my head when I typed that Scripture. =)<br /><br />I&#39;ll check the bookstore for a good piano book for ya. =DElenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00638098946577404634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773392.post-36144810793441484212011-03-10T16:41:50.694-06:002011-03-10T16:41:50.694-06:00Just reading this scripture has me singing the portion of the Messiah Can you hear me now?<br /><br />Scripturally, it speaks to me that WE are to prepare ourselves for the coming of the Lord. Not only in our hearts, but in our daily lives, because we know NOT the time.<br />MOM<br />p.s. Would you buy me the Vocal/piano book of the Messiah from the bookstore for Mother&#39;s Day? (as in the arrangement for church choirs)Sewconsulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00427879934589715958noreply@blogger.com
