Every Moment Holy

Perhaps we've all be in the presence of a person or stood in a place which the world would describe as extraordinary and special. Sometimes it's not till afterward when we realize just how extraordinary and special the moment was. Luke says the shepherds made their way to Bethlehem and found "the Baby as He lay in the manger." (Luke 2:16). Surely, because of Jesus' Presence, the ground in that stable was as holy as the ground upon which Moses stood as God spoke to him from the burning bush. There in The Holy Presence those shepherds must have marveled in that moment. Their next move confirms they knew immediately the significance of the moment and The Presence: "And when they had seen this, they made known what had been told them about this Child." (V.17). Although they were the least of the least and the lowliest of the lowly, there was [visible] evidence in their behavior and actions they had been in The Presence of Excellence, of Greatness. "Thou has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world to confound the mighty." (The Knowledge of The Holy, A. W. Tozer). Just as the shepherds didn't linger long at the manger, neither should Believers; it is breath-by-breath The Holy One continues to proclaim His Glory to the world. We have an extraordinary message to tell about The Personal of Jesus Christ (Messiah). That makes ... every moment holy.
