Scripture: Luke 1:26-38
Meditation: New babies: There is nothing like it in the world. A time of mixed emotions; excitement and apprehension are just two of a myriad of feelings that come over new parents. But there is no doubt that there have ever been thoughts and feelings felt quite like those that Joseph and Mary must have felt when Jesus was born. There is no way they could have fully grasped what that new addition to their family was going to mean. And not just to them, but to the whole world.
There has never been another baby like Jesus, but still, every new life brings with it new hope for the future. The next time you're in the presence of a baby, look closely, with the eyes of faith, and imagine what that child might do for God. Then offer your prayer and blessing upon that child.
Prayer: God, we are amazed, that you would put so much potential into the most fragile of packages. Give us the courage and wisdom to guide these children in the ways you have chosen. Let us receive them into our lives as the treasure they are from you.
