The Day After
Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,
Hopefully those who traveled to visit family and friends for Christmas were able to arrive home safely and hopefully those who got the time off from work enjoyed themselves and were ready for another work day. Me, being retired, am able to enjoy the day after. Yes, how many days after have we all had? The day after the wedding, the day after the big celebration party, the day after the birth of a child, the day after the death of a loved one, the day after...
The story of Jesus doesn't tell to much about the day after but it does tell us in Luke 2:15-24,
"And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
And Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was call JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
As it is written in the law of the Lord, (Every male that openth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
So much happened the day after His Birth and may it be so for us who have received His Grace.
Yes the celebrating and the pondering continues in our hearts.
Abba Father, Praise thee and thank You for the days after. There are so many of those days as they have been made by thee and planned and purposed and filled with Your Presence and Your Peace. Lord I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that in the days after of her life that she will celebrate each day knowing that You have made it and also ponder on the things that You have filled her days after with. Lord God I ask all these things in the Precious Name of Jesus, the Name above all names, Amen.
Celebrating and Pondering,
