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

Yes. With all perseverance and all supplication for all saints!
Reading:

Ephesians 6:10-20

This ought to keep me busy:

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (Ephesians 6:18).

Seriously?

Well, surely I don’t think God just slipped that in as a space filler!
