Prepare a Highway for God
Scholars explain that the phrase 'Cast up a highway' is a more direct translation than 'Extol him.' The image is of preparing a road for a king marching through the desert at the head of his army. This refers to God leading Israel through the wilderness. For believers today, it's a call to actively remove obstacles in our lives and culture that hinder the advance of God's presence and reign.
