Make Ready the Way
How do you need to make way for God’s peace in your life?
Luke 3:4
“Make ready the way of our God; clear a straight path.”
Writing about peace in this moment in the world feels like an incomprehensible task. There’s so much happening around us that is earth-shattering, terror-inducing, and…just…so much. I know many of our personal lives feel similarly peace-less as we grapple with illness or breakups or family conflict or or or
Sigh.
Maybe that’s why we need to make ready the way for God. I think on individual levels, there’s work that we get to do in our own hearts and souls and minds to make way for God’s peace to come.
For me that means taking my meds, moving my body, putting down my phone as my anxiety wants me to unceasingly scroll. As I take action to make space for peace to become a reality in my spirit, I get the opportunity to co-create peace with God.
Think about your day today. How do you need to make way for God’s peace in your life? How do you get to own your role in co-creating space for peace to reside?
