Without Jesus, the light, we walk in darkness. Darkness is the shadow of death. “God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness he called night.” - Genesis 1:4-5.
We read yesterday that he called the light “good”. What is the opposite of good? Bad. Darkness is bad for us. Darkness separates us from God. We were dead in our sin but we don’t have to stay there. He promises us in this passage of Luke to “guide or feet into the way of peace.” We could all use more peace in our life and in our world.
Sunrise also marks the beginning of a new day. The first light of morning moves us onward in the journey of life. Without the sunrise, we would be in darkness. Without the changing of night to day we would not know the time or season. If you haven’t already, let today mark the beginning of a new day for you. A day where you no longer sit in the shadow of darkness but are guided into the way of peace.
Pray that you would no longer be separated from him if you are. Ask him to give you peace today. He says he gives us the peace that surpasses all of our understanding. That is GOOD NEWS!
PEACE IS COMING...
