Behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. - Luke 2:9

The good news of the Lord's birth was announced by the angels of the Lord. The shepherds were afraid but were assured by the angels not to be so. We are sure that when the Lord do speak to us or send His angels to appear before us, we too could be afraid. Are we prepared to receive His news?

When we pray to our Lord in earnest and in truth, He hears and will respond. It is important that we must be prepared when He speaks to us. We seek to be the Lord's tools and instruments. But surely He do not need a "radio" that only can speak but would not listen.

God speaks to us in an ordinary way as we pray and during our normal daily activities. Look out for signs and opportunities to serve and proclaim His Name. His encouragement, guidance and instruction will come to us. We have to be sensitive and alert.

God speaks to those who are quiet before Him.
