Curiosity is said to have killed the cat, but in the case of Christianity, it can be one of our greatest strengths.
Without curiosity, the shepherds hear the angels and then stay in the fields. Without curiosity, they're intrigued by the message of the angels, but since it doesn't fit in the mold of what they're expecting, it'd be easy to cast it aside and not take the next steps.
But they hear what the angels have to say, and curiosity takes over, so they go and look for what the angels have spoken about.
It's a question for us, too. Are we curious enough to follow where angels may lead? When we have thoughts on our hearts or minds, do we patiently listen for more direction, talk about them with a friend, find what opportunities are out there? God is always calling us forward, but we have to be willing to follow, even if we're uncertain about what the next stage of the path looks like. God will be there to catch us if we fail, and we'll often receive more guidance along the way. But we need to be willing to step out in faith and let our curiosity lead us forward.
