Reflecting on Advent reading Luke 2:1-20
Daily Devotion:
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!’” Luke 2:13-14 ESV
The day had finally come. The Messiah was born in the city of David. All the years of waiting had come to an end. God’s promises were fulfilled, the prophecies were proved true, and the heavenly host celebrated.
It must have been a miraculous event to behold for the shepherds, as well as a foretaste of what we, as Christians, will experience the day our Savior returns.
This Advent, let us do as the shepherds did all those years ago after encountering the baby lying in the manger—return to our lives glorifying, and praising God for all we have seen and heard. Store up these wondrous moments in our hearts like Mary, and proclaim the coming King, Savior of the world.
A Prayer for Advent
Prayer of Praise and Wonder
Heavenly Father, I glorify your name for your wondrous works. Thank you for the peace that comes from knowing your son Jesus as my Savior and help me share the good news of his birth, death, and resurrection with those who do not know you. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
