Evoking Praise
Luke 2:15-20
Read the Bible through:
AM – Zechariah 1-3 : PM – Revelation 16
"And the Shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them." (Luke 2:20).
The shepherds marveled that the divine prophecy given by the angel (vs. 10-12) had been perfectly fulfilled. God’s Word and word were the basis of their praise.
A church member suffered a heart attack and a few day later a damaging stroke. He was in ICU for weeks. His wife, also a member of our church, was in the waiting room around the clock, visiting him at each assigned visitation. Each time I visited with her, she reported any sign of improvement, always careful to give God the glory. She repeatedly praised God for His sustaining presence and work and expressed confidence in God’s promises. All who were in the waiting area heard her repeated expressions of faith and grace. The whole experience came during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
Christmas evokes praise for God’s gift of Jesus. Everyday should evoke praise in believers for God’s saving and sustaining grace.
We praise You, Father, for fulfilling Your promises.
