Heartlight Daily Verse
by Phil Ware
December 24
Luke 2:16-20
[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.
Thoughts on 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!
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)
