> > HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE > (formerly Today's Verse) > by Phil Ware > >April 5, 2004 > >[An angel of the Lord said,] "Today in the town of David a >Savior 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 >favor rests." > > --Luke 2:11-14 > New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... > The sign to the shepherds was a baby in a feeding trough. >Pretty potent sign isn't it! The Almighty Creator of the >universe sleeping where the sheep and goats have eaten their >grain and hay. That God would love us so much as to reduce >himself to such an inauspicious beginning reminds us why the >angels praise him so. He is glorious and yet he chose not to >hide or protect that glory, but instead he shared it so we >could find it, too! > > >MY PRAYER... > God of the manger and Ruler of the constellations, I join my >heart and my voice with the angels in praise to your glorious >and holy name. Your sacrifice is so profound I am awe-struck. >You could have chosen any sign to show Jesus to the shepherds, >but you chose the manger. Thank you for revealing yourself in >such a common place so I could find your sign and come home to >you. Through Jesus with all my love. Amen. >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.20640.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
