The angel (Gabriel) as he approached her (Mary), said, “Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you.”  But she was troubled at his message and reflected what sort of greeting this might be.  The angel said to her, “Have no fear, Mary for you have found favor with God.  Luke 1:28 -30

Thank You for stopping us to listen to Your still small voice.  At this busy time of the year it is so easy for us to miss what You are trying to say to us and teach us.  As I was reading these verse Lord I wanted to stop here and reflect on what was going on.  You are calling Mary.  You sent an angel.  She was afraid, and Lord we all would be afraid wondering what is this..….why would he say such a thing.  Thank You for helping Mary NOT be afraid.  Thank You for calming her thoughts and fear.  This was Your presence helping her believe.  Lord, so often, it is You that helps us believe.  It is You that gives us more faith and joy.  It is You that give us peace in the midst of uncertain happenings.  We thank You Lord for ALWAYS being with us to bring comfort, peace and joy.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy the Angel Gabriel was sent by God to Nazareth a town in Galilee, to a virgin named Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a descendant of David.  Luke 1:26, 27

Lord, thank You for sharing YOUR story.  I love hearing these details and You knew we would love them too.  I love it that an Angel came to earth to tell Mary part in the history of Your birth.  How special Gabriel must have felt to be sharing this wonder news.  Thank You for blessing us all with these exciting details.  We know Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist and what a beautiful part he too plays in the history of Jesus’ life.  As we read on we will learn more and our hearts will once again be blessed with Your coming.  Thank You for the joy You bring into this season as we reflect on YOUR love for us. 

Thank You Lord.

When Joseph awoke from his sleep he carried out what the angel commanded of the Lord.  He took to him his wife but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her first-born son, whom he called Jesus.  Matthew 1:24, 25

Thank You Lord for all the details You have given us about Your birth.  How blessed we are to know all that was going on before You were even born.  Thank You for Joseph’s love for You and Your desire for his life.  He listened and obeyed.  Thank You for the great example that is for us in our lives today.  You teach us through Joseph that others may not understand and may talk about us, but it is important for us to listen to You and follow.  Thank You for helping us listen to You and follow You today. 

Thank You Lord.
