The Path of Peace

Genesis 1-2; Luke 1

“…’to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.’”

Luke 1:77-79

As we begin a New Year, we, too, are invited to walk with God on his path of peace. The incredible inner freedom through the forgiveness of our sins and experience of the tender mercy of God fills our hearts and minds with peace. We choose to live in the light of God’s presence, rather than in the darkness of fear and death. As we choose to surrender our will to God and invite Jesus to fill us with the Holy Spirit, we, too, experience the hand of God guiding our daily choices and our feet as we walk with him. There is no better way to live. The internal peace of God spills over into all our relationships and endeavors as we obey the Spirit and listen to the Lord. When we are walking on the path of peace, we enjoy inviting others to join us.

“Lord Jesus, you are the Way. I choose to walk with you this year, for your glory.”
