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.” We had arrived at Ruby Beach just as the sun was rising. Some parts of the beach were already bathed in the golden glow of the morning sun while some were still in the shadows. After walking on the beach and watching the crashing waves we turned around to hike back to the car. As we walked below the rocky hill side at the water’s edge I looked up and saw the sun rising over the hill. Rays of sunlight streamed through the morning fog. The light had come and it was beautiful.
Zechariah and Elizabeth had lived through many dark years of Roman oppression and childlessness when the angel Gabriel came with astonishing news. They would have a son who would be the one to prepare the way for God’s salvation. We read these words of Zechariah, words of hope not just for a child but for the world. God was sending his light to those living in the darkness. No longer would the darkness win for the light was coming. There would still be dark days as there are now but there is hope. Jesus will guide us into his light and it will be even more glorious than the light was that morning. Prayer Father of Light Break into our hearts with your light when our days are dark. Fill us with hope and guide us into the path of peace. Amen
