I was reading in Matthew 2 1-12 where wise men had come from the east to search for JESUS after HIS birth. They had first stopped and payed tribute to the king {Herod } as was custom in those days when you journeyed into foreign land. King Herod attempted to get the wise men to locate the Child JESUS and then come and tell him HIS location. He told the wise men that he wanted to pay tribute to JESUS as well. They knew better!!! GOD is Good!!!
A star guided their way into Bethlehem . The star was directly above our Saviour. They gave gifts to JESUS and then left. Scriptures record that they did not return the same way. They took a different path. Amen!!!
Friends , the wise men had come face to face with GOD!!! Even had they returned on the same path there is no way that they could have returned the same way. They had took a journey and had met with GOD. Having done so they were not about to get anywhere near Herod {Satan} again!!! Glory!!!
We too have journeyed in our own way to meet JESUS and pay tribute to HIM!!! Once we come face to face with GOD there is no way in which our lives can remain the same. We leave HIS Glory differently!!! After we have met GOD there is no way in which we want to give this world {Satan , Herod } any of our time. Thank you JESUS!!!
I am so thankful that I do not have to flee to Egypt!!! I have met JESUS!!!
I Love you!!!!!!! Mark
In your presence, Lord Jesus, I want my life to be changed from getting things, to giving myself, so that I may grow into wholeness.Amen.
Amen!!!
