—Luke 2:8-14

God’s favor rested on the shepherds? Shepherds were not the most favored members of society in the times of the Bible. They spent their days amongst smelly sheep. They were most likely not educated, and I imagine not many people asked their opinions when making laws or big political decisions. But God found favor with them and chose the shepherds to be the first to witness the birth of the Savior. God didn’t care about their position; he cared about their hearts. May we pray daily that our focus will be on the condition of our hearts, and not on our position in society.
