“Good News of Great Joy”

Today’s reading from Luke 2:8-14 recounts the incredible moment when angels appeared to shepherds, proclaiming the birth of Jesus. On an ordinary night, the fields were suddenly illuminated by the glory of the Lord, and the angel announced the good news: the Savior had been born. The angelic choir’s song, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,” filled the night with hope and joy.

This moment reminds us that the message of Christ’s birth is for everyone, including the lowly and unexpected. The shepherds’ experience challenges us to reflect on the awe and wonder of this season. Their response to the good news—a heart full of praise—can be ours as well.

As you move through this Advent season, ask yourself: Is the praise of God the song of your heart? Let the story of the shepherds inspire you to live in awe of God’s glory, peace, and the gift of His Son. Join us in praising Him today!

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.
