SHEPHERDS

“And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.”

luke 2:8 (esv)

The Good News of the Savior’s birth was brought not to the cultural elite—not to the kings and queens and temple leaders. Rather the Good News was heralded from the angels to the shepherds while they were working. When the angel of the Lord appeared to bring them the Good News, they were filled with fear. The heavenly host of angels told them not to fear and shared what wondrous thing had occurred that night. After they heard the Good News they turned and went to Bethlehem to seek Him Who had been heralded.

Many times in our spiritual journey we will receive answers to the hard questions we have been asking in the middle of our work. While we are carrying the tasks of our everyday lives, sometimes God shows up and makes our next steps VERY obvious.

Lord, I thank You that You meet us all in the places where

our need is greatest. While we live our lives, You show up and give us just

what we need to accomplish Your will.
