>[The shepherds] hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby 
>[Jesus], who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they 
>spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 
>and all who heard it were amazed... But Mary treasured up all these 
>things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, 
>glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and 
>seen, which were just as they had been told.
>--Luke 2:16-20
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>The shepherds reaction to baby Jesus is exactly what our reaction 
>will be when we see the returning Jesus: we will glorify and praise 
>God for all the things we see and hear and will find that they are 
>just as God has promised them to us. Since God kept his word in the 
>first coming of Jesus, we can be assured that he will do it with the 
>Second Coming of Jesus!
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Faithful and all powerful Lord, thank you for being trustworthy and 
>true. Help me to be faithful to you in what I do and say and think 
>during this stressful yet marvelous time. May I never lose faith in 
>the coming of Jesus and may my faith in him ever shape my life to be 
>more pleasing to you. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
