1. Luke 2 : 10 NASB “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people.’” Father God, we have such good news to celebrate the birth of Your Son coming to earth as a babe. The busyness and activity of the season sometimes competes with our heart’s desire to celebrate appropriately the birth of Jesus. Help us to keep Jesus as the center of our celebrations.

2. Luke 2: 13-14 NASB “And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.’”  Father God, what an amazing sight and sound as the sky was filled with the heavenly host! This imagery gives us a glimpse of what we can expect once we arrive in heaven. Let us use our time on earth praising Him as  preparation for eternity in heaven.
