thank You for Your Word and for this chapter, which tells the beautiful story of the birth of Jesus. Thank You for the reminder of Your love and grace in sending Your son to be with us.
As I reflect on this passage, I am humbled by the humility and obedience of Mary and Joseph, and the joy of the shepherds as they heard the news of the Savior’s birth. Help me to have the same faith and obedience in my own life.
I pray that I may also experience the same joy and wonder of the shepherds as I come before You in prayer and worship. May I always remember the gift of Jesus and the hope and salvation He brings to the world.
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of Your Son and for the love and grace that He embodies. I pray that I may always keep Him at the center of my life and give Him the glory He deserves.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
