the Text with Your Life:
- Of all the people the angels could have visited, why did God send them to the shepherds? How does that relate to Mary’s song in Luke 1:46-55?
- God appeared to Zechariah, Mary, and the shepherds when they were just being themselves. What does that imply about what it means to be "spiritual"? How has God spoken to you in the ordinary flow of life?
- What precious event has God done that you "treasure in your heart"?
Prayer
Focus: That our lives would be songs of praise for the
coming Christ child.
