Weekly Inspiration for week of 3-9 December 2022
The bells were put up,
On the city street,
They tinkled as we walked by,
With a sound so sweet.
As I beheld them,
I was transported backward in time …
To the sound of angels,
Who delivered a form of rhyme:
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace to man.” (Luke 2:14)
It rang out to all creation,
Jesus’ birth was all part of God’s original plan.
And so I hope in this Holy Season,
That if you hear or see a bell,
You’ll be reminded,
Of the King’s story,
And I hope you “do tell,”
Of His glory, peace and love!
Christmas is filled with many wonderful sights and sounds. It’s a time to treasure the miracle of Jesus’ birth. And it’s a time for us to echo the truth of God’s love—from every street corner, and to every person who shares our lives.
“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
We may not hear directly from an angel this Christmas, but the angels were blessed to proclaim His praise. May we be like a bell—clearly, purely—echoing with God’s love, peace, joy and hope—until the whole world experiences Him as the miracle He is. Will you share His Good Tidings, today?
