Shepherds at night

A fire ring under the trees, with lanterns in the branches.

Read

And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
Luke 2:8-11 (BSB)

Think

On a dark night, shepherds were watching their sheep. Suddenly an angel appeared with good news of great joy for all the people: a Savior has been born! God told the news first to ordinary workers in a field.

Talk about it

Why do you think God told shepherds first?

Pray

Thank You, God, for good news of great joy.
