Depression 4

Through the heartfelt mercies of our God, God's sunrise will break in upon us, shining on those in the darkness, those sitting in the shadow of death, then showing us the way, one foot at a time, down the path of peace.   Luke 1:78-79

Sunshine.  When a person is in the throes of darkness, the last thing that seems possible is sunshine.  And yet God makes this crazy, unreasonable, unlikely, improbable, sometimes seemingly impossible promise.

His sunrise will break upon us, shining on those in the darkness.

Does that seem unbelievable from where you're sitting right now?

Believe it.  God will make this happen.

One step at a time.

What does this scripture make you think of?

  1. This passage makes me think about the anticiapation that I and every believer of Jesus Christ should be ready for...His Second Coming. It also makes me think about the peace that can only come from the Savior. I need His peace now more than ever.

  2. It reminds me of how the statement is made that the shadows will gave nowhere to hide once Jesus shows up. It will be true in the end and it is true for us now--for those if us that want to leave the ways of this world behind. There will be no shadows on our paths!
