Good Friday Morning!
How good are you at following directions when you receive them? Do you ever take short cuts or think you have a better plan? The shepherds were given specific directions from an angel of the Lord as they began their search to find the baby Jesus. “And this shall be a sign to you. You shall find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:12) A manger must have sounded as an unlikely place to find the Christ Child, but the shepherds hurried off to Bethlehem and indeed “found both Mary and Joseph and the baby, who was lying in the manger.” (Luke 2:16) God wants us to follow His directions, too. We find them in His Word.
?Dear Lord, Please guide us to share the story of the birth of Jesus with others this Christmas. Help to share the Good News! Guide us to seek, find, and understand Your directions found in Your Word. Amen.
