Glory To God in the Highest

“..As I sit in reflection upon the goodness of God this year I can’t help but wonder what it must have been like for the shepherds on that frightful…” night. These were the words I penned on a Christmas card this year when it occurred to me what I had said. That night was not full of fright. The announcement of the Saviour’s birth alone had brought glad tidings, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men” (Luke 2:14). During the night, those awaiting the promise of God were bidden peace. Even as the Lord made it known to the shepherds, I don’t have to wait for the morning. Before the angels were gone away, the fright came to pass.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11).

As you are watching over the things that God has given to you and things are dark all around remember that you don't have to wait for the morning to come to have peace.

"...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." (Psalms 30:5b)

I believe situations may cause you to weep but you can still have the "...peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). Our Saviour, which was born on that EVENTFUL night conquered death, hell, and the grave.
