WATCH THE SIGNS

“This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

luke 2:12 (niv)

In our daily lives, we use signs to navigate where we drive, in decorating our homes, and to help us make decisions. Like Gideon with the fleece, we want to see a clear sign in the sky or writing on the wall to give us the answers we seek. Sometimes, we have to make the next right move and walk in faith that He will continue to guide our next step. The birth of Christ was heralded to the shepherds with a sign. The manger itself—the humblest of beds and birthplaces—was the sign that indeed they had found not just a baby, but THE baby—the Savior of man, the Messiah!

During the Christmas season, we are reminded to adore the precious Christ child. The call rings loud and clear to come and adore Him, Christ the Lord. A sign to leave behind all other things and simply worship Him.

I long to abandon all other tasks, necessary or pleasurable,

to be present with You, Lord. Help me be aware of the signs

you are sending me and follow you in obedience.
