Imagine a still, quiet night, with the stars above you. It's the kind of night you've experienced over and over again. Maybe you envision going camping, sitting on your back porch, or driving in your car. Wherever it is, it's somewhere familiar, comfortable, and normal for you. On this particular night, the shepherds are experiencing an ordinary night under the stars. They're watching over their flock as they did every moment of every day—to keep the flock safe from wild animals in the area or from wandering off to unknown terrain. Just another typical night. There's no doubt that the shepherds had heard all their lives about the coming of the Messiah, but when they least expect it, on the most common of days, the most extraordinary thing happens! An angel of the Lord shows up, an astonishing sight and sound. How terrifying and exhilarating it must have been. The angel tells them of the news they had longed to hear all their lives—the long-awaited Messiah is here! My favorite part of this story is in verses 13 and 14. Once the angel has shared the good news, it's then joined by “a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God ...” Luke 2:13 NLT The angels were preparing the way of the Lord with praise even at His birth—joining the scene purely to praise God for this momentous occasion! Even in the midst of sharing the story of Jesus' birth and how He could be recognized, they couldn't help but praise God: “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” Luke 2:14 NLT Challenge May we pause today and give Him the highest praise. In the middle of the busiest season, or the most ordinary of days, may we keep our eyes open for God moving in miraculous ways and give nothing in our lives higher praise than the one who came to save! —Ashten Wellman Based on the song Angels We Have Heard On High.

Emmanuel, Emmanuel Heaven is with us now Glory is all around Emmanuel, Emmanuel Born to bring us to life Come lift His name on high Growing up in church, and now as a worship pastor, I have heard the word Emmanuel countless times. But in all honesty, I did not grasp the weight of it until recently. Emmanuel … God with us. God. With. Us. All of us go through seasons of life where we don't seem to feel God's presence. Difficult situations we face can leave us asking, “God where are You in this?” But did you know that the Word of God tells us over 100 times not to fear or be afraid, because He is with us? “So do not fear, for I am with you.” Isaiah 41:10 NIV God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 NIV I clung to these two verses in a time of fear, doubt, frustration, when I felt distant from God. A few years ago a very close friend of mine was in a car accident and was left with a severe brain injury that resulted in a coma. This friend had one of the most beautiful and joyous spirits. She loved God with her whole heart, and loved sharing His love with everyone she encountered. The years following her accident I had so many questions for God. Why her? Why this way? Why so soon? Throughout this tragedy I remember God so vividly showing up to remind me that He was near. He would show up through strangers, through His Word, and through stories told of my dear friend's life. He reminded me constantly that He was with me in my grief and in the middle of my questions, and more importantly, He was with her. Our God is not distant. He is closer than we know, and His love for each of us is deeper than we could ever imagine. He is Emmanuel. It is written throughout the entire Bible: a story of a God who found a way to conquer the separation caused by our sin, by sending His Son Jesus and then His Holy Spirit to be close to us once and for all. Let's Pray Father, thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your Son here to be with us. Thank You for being close and choosing to leave heaven to be with us here on Earth. Give us a desire to be close to You and Your heart. Comfort us in the good times and in the bad by Your Holy Spirit and the reminder of Your Son, Emmanuel. —Rhiannon Morlan Based on the song Emmnuel.

The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far And to the Earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! This carol was first published in 1823 by William Sandys in England. Since then, its melody and lyrics have grown more and more familiar to the Church, as have the stories of the shepherds and the wise men referenced by the song. The nativity accounts found in the opening chapters of Matthew and Luke were signals to God's people, Israel, who had been awaiting the arrival of a new king. Many of the signs surrounding Jesus' birth pointed back to the greatest and most respected king that Israel had yet known, King David: Shepherds: David is first introduced in 1 Samuel 16 as a young shepherd boy in Bethlehem. He was out keeping his sheep when the prophet Samuel arrived to anoint him king. Later, Micah prophesied that another ruler would come out of Bethlehem who would also shepherd God's people. Then in the book of Luke, the appearance of angels to shepherds near Bethlehem was an indicator that a major character in God's story of redemption had arrived. Wise Men and Myrrh: What would Samuel, a wise and respected leader, have used to proclaim David king after he was led on his mission to Bethlehem? According to Exodus 30, myrrh was one of the core ingredients used to make sacred anointing oil. And we read in the Gospel of Matthew that wise men are led to Bethlehem once again with gold, frankincense, and myrrh, this time as gifts for Jesus, our newborn King. The arrival of Jesus was deeply significant. It led a group of shepherds to tell many others what they'd seen and heard. It inspired powerful men to travel a great distance to bring gifts to the child of strangers. The arrival of Jesus matters. It changed everything for the shepherds and wise men, and it changes everything for us. We've seen their response to the arrival of the King. What is our response? Challenge As you hear this carol, I pray that your spirit is moved. I pray that you would not hold back in your response, whether it yields more passionate and authentic praise than you've ever experienced, or it gives you the courage to tell someone about Jesus. Maybe you've been on the fence about fully committing your life to Christ, or going to church. Whatever the response, He's worth giving your all. —Luke Guevara Based on the song Noel.
