Luke 2:8-11’ 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:’

DAILY READING – Acts 9:26-43; Joshua 5:2-6:27; Job 23

The birth of Jesus Christ was the greatest event in human history.
We may think that protocol would demand that the great news of His birth should have been told to the highest authorities in the region. Yet, this good news was proclaimed by angels to shepherds in the field.
So, why didn’t the angels make the announcement to Caesar Augustus in Rome?
Bethlehem is a mere 5.5 miles (less than 9 kilometers) from the Jewish capital, Jerusalem. Why didn’t the angels appear to the Roman Governor Quirinius or King Herod? Why didn’t they appear to the Jewish high priest at the Temple in Jerusalem?
Interestingly that night God looked down on all the earth and He chose poor shepherds to receive the angelic pronouncement. You would think God would have chosen more polished, more educated and influential people to first hear news of the historic birth, but He chose a group of shepherds doing their best to take care of their sheep at night.

From the outset God has often used ordinary common— even supposedly “ignorant” people — to do His work on earth. Moses came from tending sheep in the desert to lead Israel out of Egypt. Similar examples of ordinary people doing extraordinary things for God abound in the Bible.
When God “calls” people He tends not to call the “wise, the influential or those of noble birth, but rather, God chooses to use the foolish, the weak the lowly and the despised.
(1 Corinthians 1:26-29).

When Jesus chose the 12 disciples, He didn’t choose the most qualified men, the most talented, the most educated. He chose ordinary people that had weaknesses and flaws.
If God chose us just based on our background, performance, or ability, none of us would have a chance. He doesn’t choose us because of what we are. He chooses us because of what we can become.
One of the mistakes we could make is to go through life looking at what’s wrong with us than we do looking at what’s right with us.
Stop sitting on the sidelines of life, not pursuing your dreams, your goals, because you feel unqualified. God handpicked you, not because you were perfect, not because you had it all together, but He chose you because of the potentials on the inside of you and what you can become.
David was a shepherd boy, but God made him to experience a turnaround that led him to the throne.
God can suddenly break protocols and overturn schedules, for your sake.
When you are willing to pay the price of faithfulness while serving in obscurity, you will be divinely visited and blessings will locate you.
It doesn’t matter where you may be today, you may not know the right people or have the money or have the right certificates. Just continue to diligently serve God at your current post.
Sooner than you know it, God will miraculously locate you, cause you to hear amazing good news and use you to do extraordinary things..

PRAYER: Lord, I Thank You for causing the lines to suddenly fall for me in pleasant places. I thank You Lord, for doing exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all I could ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name. .
