S = Luke 2:15-18,20 “When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.’ And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying…And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.”
O = What I notice is that they believe the angels’ message referring to what “has happened” and that they go to see it, “with haste,” evidences enthusiasm for the coming of Messiah! It was just as they had been told (So why not the rest—peace, joy, Savior?). They shared what had been told them (no secret) and concluded their evening by going back to work worshipping God!
A = I need to be available to hear God’s message of good news (gospel= good news), pursue the presence of God by faith, share his message with others and glorify God as I go about my work.
P = O Lord, help me to respond to you with at least the shepherds’ level of faith, and enthusiasm, and share your love with others. Help me not to forget what you have done
