The text (copy it into your newsletter, slides or email)
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” — Luke 2:10 (KJV)
The first people to hear the news were shepherds on the night shift. Joy came to ordinary people doing ordinary work. Joy is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and it grows in small, daily places.
This week at home: Monday: Luke 1:39–56 · Tuesday: Isaiah 35:1–10 · Wednesday: Zephaniah 3:14–20 · Thursday: Galatians 5:22–26 · Friday: Psalm 126
Talk about it: Who could you bring a little joy to this week?
