BE FAITHFUL THE LORD IS TRIUMPHANT!

 

LUKE 2 8-16 AND THERE WERE IN THE SAME COUNTRY SHEPHERDS ABIDING  IN THE FIELD, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT. AND LO, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME UPON THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE ROUND ABOUT THEM : AND THEY WERE SORE AFRAID. AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO THEM, FEAR NOT: FOR , BEHOLD, I BRING YOU TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE.  FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD.  AND THIS SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, LYING IN A MANGER. AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS WITH THE ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD, AND SAYING GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE. AND, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.  AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THE ANGELS WERE GONE AWAY FROM THEM INTO HEAVEN, THE SHEPERDS SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, LET US NOW GO EVEN UNTO BETHLEHEM, AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS IS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE KNOWN TO US. AND THEY CAME WITH HASTE, AND FOUND MARY, AND JOSEPH, AND THE BABE LYING IN A MANGER.

THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD. WHEN WE WORSHIP HIM AND WALK IN HIS STATUTES AND HIS COVENANTS , HE MAKE ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME, HE IS A GOD THAT BRINGS US GREAT TIDINGS AND GREAT JOY. WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH YOUR TRIALS AND STRUGGLES JUST KNOW THAT HE IS FAITHFUL TO BRING YOU OUT OF YOUR DIFFICULT SITUATIONS, TRUST AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD, AMEN.
