“And there were shepherds living out in the fields
nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared
to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.”
Luke 2:8-9
Life can become very routine.
It probably was for those shepherds that night.
Same flock, different night.
One moment they are caring for their sheep just like
any other night.
The next moment?
Well, it says they were terrified.
It wasn’t routine any longer.
Their night was interrupted by the divine.
God sent an angel with a message for them.
Their sudden terror was turned to wonder and joy at that
message.
Are you living a day-to-day routine life?
Don’t rule out the sudden visit of God into your
circumstances.
As a matter of fact, the wonder and joy of that first
Christmas can still be with you and me.
After all, Emanuel still means – “God with us.”
He is with us just as He was with those who crowded
around that manger so many years ago.
Let the divine interrupt your routine this Christmas!
