So it was, when the angels had gone away from them
into heaven that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem
and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 And they came with haste and found Maryam and Joseph, and
the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him,
they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18
And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them
by the shepherds.
Luke 2:11-18
It seems to me that the first evangelists were not the
disciples but the shepherds. True they did not have the story of salvation
through The Cross but they spread the news about the birth of The Saviour.
What can we learn from Maryam’s actions?
But Maryam kept all these things and pondered them
in her
heart.
Luke 2:19
The learning is that we need to be still and ponder
things asking God for guidance and clarity.
I invite you to repeat the
following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for
Your abundant blessings and Inseparable love. LORD, I pray that out
of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my
inner being, so that I can see the
star I should follow to fulfill Your call for my life. Help me to communicate
about the salvation Jesus offers. Help me to be still in front of You and
listen to Your voice and ponder like Maryam, The Mother of God, on Your words
and to internalize them totally and fully. In this week of Your birth Jesus let
every night be a holy night where You are reborn in our hearts, minds, souls
and spirits. I
declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the
blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus
loves you,
In
Him,
Wagdi
