Reading:
Luke 2:8-20

“And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night” (8).

Those shepherds had a place to be and a job to do. So they were away from town. And they were up at night.

But God could find them when they needed to hear something from Him.

And God could find them when He had something different for them to do, even a temporary assignment.

God can find me, too.

So let me do the job I have now.

Maybe He has something different for me to do. Later.

Meanwhile, I need faithfulness and cheerfulness and vision and purpose for the job I have now.

Oh, and peace and goodwill as well.

[Peace, good will toward men (Luke 2:14)]
from Luke 2:14

Reading:
Psalm 97

Just for you — verses 9-12:

For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Below is the phrase I picked out from there. What’s your choice? Please tell us in a comment.
