DAY Nine: December 06 - Tuesday
Let the JOY the angel spoke of enter your heart. It was Athanasius who
wrote: “the Son of God becomes a human being that opens the door
for humans to become sons [and daughters] of God.” Joy! Yes!
Remember: God’s gracious favor rests on you today and every day a er
that!
❅FOR CONTEMPLATION:
Luke 2:8-15
❅FOR REFLECTION:
What would your reac on have been to the sudden presence of
an angel?
Why is the birth of a Savior a reason for joy in the heart?
What does it mean for God’s favor to rest on men?
❅FOR PRAYER (ONE-MINUTE):
“Father, I believe the words of the angel. Kindle the
inexpressible and glorious joy in my heart.” (pause)

“Help this joy in my heart to be seen by everyone in my ac ons.
May this joy be heard in all my words. May this joy be felt in
others as I share the good news of a Savior born into the world
by the name of Jesus. It’s in His name that I pray this, Amen!”
