THE SEED
“…the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him…” Matthew 2:9-11, NKJV
The wise men made a trip, an impressive distance to see the incomparable King whose arrival the Bible predicted. They followed the splendid star, and when they found Him, it says they celebrated extremely. Those men were glad to such an extent that they couldn’t conceal it. What they did straightaway; they bow down and adored Him. When a wise person seeks Jesus, they are filled with indescribable joy. They are compelled to worship Him! Let that be you and me today. Let’s let the joy of the Lord fill our hearts and be reflected on our faces during the holiday season and every day of the year. Don’t allow the pressures and busyness of life steal your joy. Let those around you see that you’ve been with Jesus. Rejoice in Him, worship Him, and walk with Him in victory all the days of your life!
PRAYER
Father, I choose to be wise and seek You first. Fill me with Your joy which is strength. I set my heart and mind on You and worship You. You are the King of kings and Lord of lords in Jesus’ name! Amen.
