Luke

1:78 By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us,

1:79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

What a wonderful message for us all.  All of us sit in darkness at some time or the other.  All of us live in the shadow of death for our whole lives and here we have God promising us light in our lives that will show us a way to walk in peace.  God has given us His word to live by and in order to do that we must read the Holy Word of God.  The Bible contains “The Word” that is the dawn from on high.  “The Word” is the involvement of God in the life of the Israelites and the arrival of His Son teaching us a new and peaceful way. We can take a lot of time and energy to read and study God’s Holy Word but if the Holy Spirit of God is not in our hearts we will never truly understand what “The Way” is all about. 

Tell people about what God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit means to you.  That is how we begin to learn about God.  About the light that can shine in our lives.  When you tell the world the light shines from you and shines into those who hear your words.  They recieve a spirit that will live on and grow as they learn more.  Plant a seed by a real life lived as an example of Christ in your life.  It may not be all about you but it is all about Christ in your life.  Love living it and others will know.

God’s Peace and blessings to all,

Randy
