VERSE
Luke 2:16-20 (KJV) And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
INSPIRATION
Mary took on faith what she had herself experienced and heard, but had yet not come to fully accept or understand. It may be hard for us too, in the face of God’s majesty and power, to simply accept these miracles and pass on through the Testament. However, take Mary as an example, who was entrusted with perhaps accepting the greatest miracle of all, we should take all these things and ponder on them within our hearts, until their innate truth is revealed, until their prophecies are fulfilled before our very eyes.
PRAYER
Lord God above, thy Kingdom come and thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Teach us to follow in your grace, and trust in your miracles.Even though our life is finite and our understanding is limited, I still seek your light and drink from the fountains of your truth. In your works I place my faith, blind as I am to your designs. Lift the veil from my eyes Lord, and allow me to see the beauty of your word that has been manifested in the flesh of all things. Amen.
