12/18- Luke 2:8-20 “I bring you good news of great joy for
all the people. Today in the town of
David a Savior is born to you; he is Christ the Lord…When the angels left the
shepherds said, ‘Let’s go and see… that which the Lord has told us about.”
Thoughts: The
shepherds didn’t mean to listen. But
unlike the busy crowded streets of Bethlehem, they were not distracted. They could hear the angel voices. When they heard the angels- they
responded. The went and sought the
Christ child. People who are listening
for God’s will are willing to get up and go.
They are willing to respond. So we too should have our ears open. One way we open our ears is by making space and time for God in worship. In worship we sing and pray but we also listen. We listen not just to the songs of the choir or the words of the preacher- we listen for God. We listen in order to respond to Him and do His will for us.
Prayer: Give me a listening ear, Lord. Give me a willingness to get up and go for
you.
