Thursday
Luke 2:8-14
God bypassed the powerful, educated, and influential to announce His Son's birth to shepherds—society's overlooked and ceremonially unclean. These rough, uneducated men received heaven's first public announcement. This reveals God's heart: He sees the unnoticed. The shepherds didn't earn this privilege through status or righteousness; they received it through grace. You don't need credentials to encounter Jesus. Your education level, social status, or past mistakes don't disqualify you from God's favor. He meets you exactly where you are. Today, ask yourself: Do I honor the overlooked? Where can I reflect God's heart for the unnoticed? The King of Heaven dignifies the humble.
