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 that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2: 8-11
What news are you waiting on? Is it a job, information on your health or something that you have been waiting on for a while? We all wait for news, and sometimes we are waiting a long time. People, years before Christ's arrival had waited on a Savior, someone to rescue them. I can only assume that when the day finally came as the news of His arrival spread, people were full of joy and relief. Finally, He had arrived, and if you notice, the people considered the lowliest were the first to hear about Christ"s arrival. The nice thing about us today is that we don't have to wait on Christ, because He is already present. We may have to wait on answers to our prayers, but we don't have to wait on His arrival in our lives. Just think of the joy the shepherds must have felt on that day. I can't imagine hearing an Angel of the Lord, but I can imagine hearing the still small voice guiding me daily. Remember, you don't have to wait because the good news is already here.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
