It's been a while

Sorry it's been a while!!!

As I was meditating on the Lord this morning, I came across a verse I've read a thousand times but just "stuck out" to me today.

It's Luke 1:(76-)79.
NKJV:
76: And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest;
For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
77: To give knowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,
78: Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;
79: To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.

verse 79 really stuck out to me for some reason today.

Just the fact that if we really truly realize that God, the Father of light is here to give us that light in whatever form we need, whether it be grace, healing, or help of any kind, He wants to give it to us.  God never changes, and is capable of anything if we just believe in Him.  He can get us out of any situation no matter what "darkness" we may find ourselves in, and He's always on our side.

And ultimately, with that light, we end up in peace.

Which in greek, (eirene) means:
"a state of rest, quietness, and calmness; absence of strife, tranquility, and generally denotes perfect well-being."

Jesus is our Prince of Peace.
