Third Monday in Advent

I am still having problems linking to "Following the Star," so I'm going to use the revised common lectionary for today. "Following the Star" is using it too, I think, so I should be somewhat on track.

Isaiah 11:10-16 is the passage for today. It speaks of nations "inquir[ing]" of the root of Jesse and speaks of God creating a way for the remnant of Israel and Judah to return home. It seems there have been several passages of God creating a way in this Advent season. It's never about the people creating a way, it's always about God, and always about a way right through where there seems to be a great obstacle.

Lord, there seems to be many obstacles to your message in this place. Make a way for your people to show others the way home to you.
