IN THE ABOVE Scripture, the shepherds weren’t satisfied merely to be told about the Savior’s birth. They wanted to experience Him for themselves. Like the shepherds—don’t just hear about Jesus, arise and seek Him yourself. Search for Him until you stand in His Presence, and then when you have found Him, tell others about your discovery.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, and the message of love that He brought to the world.
I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.—Psalm 119:30–32 (NIV)
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.—Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.—Jeremiah 10:12 (NIV)
