Of all the prominent people available, God chose some lowly, common shepherds to reveal the identity of His Son, Jesus. The angel told the shepherds, “He is the Messiah.”

God often chooses the most unlikely people to whom to reveal His great truths. This is consistent with His focus on ordinary people to make up His Kingdom.

As we navigate this journey of life, let’s not make the mistake of overlooking common, everyday people with whom to share our fellowship. Jesus was no respecter of persons, and neither should we.

PRAYER; Father, forgive me for gravitating to people of significance and people of means. Open my eyes to discover the fruitfulness of fellowship and friendship with ordinary people like the shepherds to whom You revealed Yourself mightily.
