Reading:
Colossians 3:12-17

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts…” (15).

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” (16).

Governed by peace — God’s peace.

Full of words — Christ’s Word.

I want to yield to that today.

Somehow.

Reading:
Luke 2:8-20

“And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night” (8).

Those shepherds had a place to be and a job to do. So they were away from town. And they were up at night.

But God could find them when they needed to hear something from Him.

And God could find them when He had something different for them to do, even a temporary assignment.

God can find me, too.

So let me do the job I have now.

Maybe He has something different for me to do. Later.

Meanwhile, I need faithfulness and cheerfulness and vision and purpose for the job I have now.

Oh, and peace and goodwill as well.

[Peace, good will toward men (Luke 2:14)]
from Luke 2:14
