Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Matthew 2:2
God’s message of hope often comes to the hearts that feel unseen.
This story celebrates God’s choice to announce Jesus’ birth to humble shepherds, reminding us that His love is for all people, in every place and walk of life.
STORY
Bible in a Year: The Shepherds
Scripture
Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:10
Have you ever felt unimportant or overlooked?
God’s announcement of Jesus’ birth to shepherds reminds us that He sees each of us, no matter where we are in life. Shepherds were humble, lowly workers, often forgotten by society. But on that night, the sky opened up with angelic songs, and these shepherds were the first to hear about the Savior’s arrival.
God’s choice to share this “good tidings of great joy” with them shows us that His love is for everyone—regardless of our status or position.
Sometimes, God speaks to us in unexpected ways and places, just as He did with the shepherds in their fields. His joy and presence can reach us anywhere, even in life’s simplest or hardest moments.
Today, reflect on how God might be reaching out to you with His love and joy, and consider: how can you bring this message of hope to those who may feel unseen?
REFLECTION
God’s message to the shepherds is a reminder that His love reaches everyone, no matter where they are in life.
Let’s consider how you can share this joy with others who may feel overlooked. Pray that God’s love fills your heart with a sense of belonging, and look for opportunities to spread His joy to those who may need it most.
Help others discover God's life-changing love. ❤️
Let’s help bring hope, healing, and the truth of Jesus to those searching for a personal relationship with Him.
