…Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” – Matthew 2:1-2 NIV
Have you ever considered the transformation that took place in these Wise Men? They began in a foreign land likely as unbelievers of Israel’s God, but by the time they stood before of the Holy Child, they bowed and worshiped Him (Matthew 2:11). It was a real trip along roads and through cities, but it was also a journey of faith that ended up changing curious seekers into ones who met the Savior face to face. This is a picture of how God operates in your life. He directs you step-by-step, mile-by-mile, until you come face to face with the Savior, Jesus Christ. So where are you on your journey of faith? Are you marveling at something God has done and you want to know more? Are you moving toward Him slowly and steadily? Have you started your journey and been side-tracked? Have you bowed your knees before Him and acknowledged Him as Savior? Are you on your journey back home to take the good news with you? Just remember, wherever you are in your relationship with God through Jesus Christ, there is always farther to go. This is a journey with no destination until you are finally at home with Him.
God, help me to really see You and know You as the powerful Ruler who wants to be my friend.
Jesus, thank You for coming to earth to reveal Yourself to me. Show me how I can know You better.
