Luke 2:13-14
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
There is a special kind of excitement that bubbles over, that just can’t be held in. The Angels just finished telling a group of shepherds about Jesus, and how there was a baby in swaddling clothes that they could go see. Not a verse later, as soon as the message was faithfully delivered, the angels split the sky open in song and celebration! “Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Christianity is not primarily or first made of emotions. But it doesn’t lack them either. Does your walk burst with excitement? It shouldn’t always, there are times to mourn and repent, times to be sober-minded and serious. But there are also times to sing! If you are in Jesus, God is pleased with you! He sent Jesus to save us! That’s something to feel. I hope you split into songs and shouting, or at least a deeply felt grin from time to time today.
Prayer prompt: Lord, please let the Easter truths sink down in and burst back up in song!
