Scripture: Luke 1:78-79
By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Thought for the Day: From the beginning of time, God has been changing darkness into light. Where shadows shroud what God loves, the divine nature looks for ways of casting off the shadow. But once the cloud has been lifted and light shines, there remains another step. God guides our feet into a life of peace, yet we must choose to actually take the steps in the direction we are being guided. Too often we relish the new found light so much that we do not take note of God’s Spirit beckoning us in the way of peace.
Prayer: If I appear to be a little awestruck by your gift of light, O Lord, be persistent and continue to invite me into the life that exhibits your peace. Amen.
