“And on going into
the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and
worshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they presented to Him gifts
— gold and frankincense and myrrh.”

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

|
Can you imagine what it must
have been like for the Wise Men when they saw Jesus? He was just a child in a
stable surrounded by animals, but these Wise Men recognized that He was the
King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; the Savior of the world. Immediately,
they fell on their faces to worship Him, but notice what they did next — they
presented Him gifts as part of their worship. And they didn’t just give any
old thing they had; they gave Him their absolute best — costly gold,
frankincense and myrrh.
When we give Jesus our
absolute best — our time, talent and resources, it is truly an act of
worship. We are saying with our actions, “God, You mean more to me than
anything. Because You are so awesome, I want to give You everything that I
am.”’ It pleases Him when we come to Him with this attitude. When we draw
near to Him with an open and humble heart, He draws near to us. Remember to
always give Him your best and watch Him open doors of blessing in every area
of your life!

The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
