“The One Who Guards Our Night!” Luke 2:1-12
Have you ever tried to drive in fog? The 99 Freeway in California sometimes fogs up so heavily that you can’t see right in front of you even in broad daylight. 50 and 60 car pileups have happened in those extreme cases. I was caught in that fog one morning driving home from working the graveyard shift the year Pam and I lived in Visalia. I had to cross a busy street, so I sat at the stop sign for at least 5 full minutes because I just couldn’t see whether or not there was oncoming traffic. It really was a harrowing experience.
Everyone will go through a night season at some point in their lives. You might be experiencing one even as we speak. Those are times when you can’t see clearly, or all hell has broken loose and nothing seems to make sense.
The shepherds who were out guarding their sheep on the night Jesus was born were hard at work that evening. Even though the translators wanted very much to punch it up a notch by eloquently telling us they were “living” or “abiding” in those fields, the original language shares with us that they were extremely busy that night guarding their sheep from lions and tigers and bears (O My!). Ok, the Bible doesn’t say tigers, but for sure the shepherds, like their forefather King David, fought off those pesky, predatory lions and bears.
Our Great Shepherd does the same for us! He fights for us, guarding us most especially during the night seasons of our lives. Let’s look into this…
