Luke 2:8-14 (NIV)
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

I really wonder how amazing and "terrifying" it must have been for all the people in the fields and manger, as they saw the glory of the Lord shining around them. At this, even all angels fell on their kneeds and praised God and said "Glory in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests..." As I read these verses, I think about how insensitive and unreactive I am, once I meditate and learn new things about Christ. Rather than to cherish His word and to desire to apply this new teaching to my life, I have the tendency to neglect it. I really pray that I will react and respond to His teachings, once the light of His glory shines in my life.
