What are you looking forward to this Christmas? What is the one thing that will make Your Christmas Christmas? I know there are lots of children that are looking for, anticipating a certain gift or gifts. They have had their hearts set on a certain something for months and the anticipation is getting more and more real this close to Christmas.
Or, maybe it is a certain someone that you are waiting for. People travel from all over to be near their loved ones during Christmas, which is one (1) of the most fulfilling parts of Christmas. I know when I missed a couple of Christmases and it is difficult on both, the one that misses and the ones that are anticipating.
Today's word is Matthew 2:10, KJV, which reads, "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
The Three Wise Men, or Magi, had been sent by Herod to find this new King that had been born and to let him know where He could be found. Herod wanted to do away with this new King to preserve his kingdom. However, this child had not come to be king of the world; He had come to be the SAVIOR, the King of kings and the LORD of lords. And, when the wise men saw the star that would lead them to the SAVIOR, they rejoiced. There is no better gift than the gift of salvation!
As we approach Christmas Day, I am reminded, again, that it is not about the presents, Christmas is all about the Gift! I look with anticipation. I look for the joy on my children's faces. I look for love from my family. I look for an opportunity to share what the holiday is all about. Wise men still seek Him!
Merry Christmas!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
