Disturbed by the Star or Delighting in the Star

Curious and aphrehensive about who was scheduled to perform for the 2021 Super Bowl half time show, I googled half time show.  The name of the entertainer immediately popped up. Watching a few minutes of one of his music videos, I was pleased it didn’t include cuss words or nakedness. But then…he pulled a gun from behind his back and my heart sank thinking of his influence on fans.  Mind you, it was not a hunting video. He is but one of many stars who influence people. Thank goodness, there is another star, more famous than any and his influence will remain long after other stars have come and gone. His name is Jesus Christ.  In Revelation 22:16,  Jesus says, “I am the root and the descendant of David, the BRIGHT MORNING STAR.” Jesus is the STAR we should watch and emulate. Jesus is the STAR we should listen to so often that we know by heart the verses He’s written.  So when you watch earthly stars rise and fall, turn your attention with deep gratitude to Jesus, the Bright Morning Star.

Sweet Jesus, we love and adore You. You are our BRIGHT MORNING STAR. There is none other we follow and worship but You.
