“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. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests." Luke 2:8-14
Reflection - - It’s always a little worrying when some starts the sentence with don’t worry. It normally means you should really. The shepherds were going about the everyday business when God broke in and in a spectacular way. Not mere telegram but a huge choir – God certainly got the attention of the shepherds. Has he got your attention – this advent – in the hustle a bustle and noise of everyday life with God break through? Will you hear the choir of angels? And if you hear that choir of angels will you join in with them in celebration.
Prayer - Glory to you O God,
Glory in the highest.
In wet fields and dry stable Glory to you
In searching and finding Glory to you
In quiet and noise Glory to you
In all things Glory to you.
Amen
