Reflection
Think about this. Jesus announced his entry into the world to the shepherds…see Luke 2:8-12 below. He didn’t announce it to royalty or government leaders. He announced it to the shepherds. In those days, the shepherds were the outcasts, the misfits, and those of low esteem. I’m guessing they had a humble spirit due to the world’s view of them.
I believe Jesus’ entry into the world 2000 years ago symbolizes what He needs from us in order to do His best work through us: a humble spirit.
I connected with Jesus when I was at the absolute pits of my life, and nothing has been the same since…my spirit was empty of my ego and willing to be filled with a new way.
Every morning, I arise in His presence, and, through prayer, I humbly turn my will over to Him so that whatever I’m about to do includes Him and glorifies Him.
I’m not where I need to be, but I’m much better than I used to be.
Jesus works best with humble spirits.
How’s your humility?
Luke 2:8-12, “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you: he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
