There were a group of shepherds sitting on a hillside at night. They had already spent much of their day working and now they were going to sit on a hill and watch their sheep to protect them from thieves. When all of the sudden they were surrounded by the glory of God. An angel appeared to them and said "Do not be afraid".
Luke 2:13-14
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
What would you do? The better question is what do you do when the glory of God shines around you?
The story goes on to say that the angels came to tell them that Jesus was born. The shepherds decided to see what all of this was about and when they found Mary, Joseph and Jesus they SPREAD the word. What do you do when you see the glory of God demonstrated in your life?
Believe it or not we see the glory of God every single day. Whether it is in creation, provision or just God's love, His glory is demonstrated everyday and what do we do with that? The shepherds went around telling everyone about what they had seen no matter what people thought of them. Are you willing to share when you have seen the glory of God this week? If you are please comment below...It is such an encouragement when you see the Lord at work in someones life! Let's encourage one another by giving God the praise He deserves.

God provided the apartment that Sarah and I have been looking for this past week. It was such a blessing because it was completely furnished and truly a blessing from God. I saw God's glory this week through his provision.
