The Christ Star
Copyright, “Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas,” by Debbie Taylor Williams
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1-2
Every morning when I have my quiet time with God, I look out at the black sky. If it is not too cold or rainy, I walk outside and gaze heavenward praising the Almighty. I love mornings when the black sky is star studded. Twinkling lights beacon me to worship the One who made the heavens and set the stars in their places.
Atop Christmas trees and perched on rooftops, the Christmas star is a reminder of the star that guided the wise men to worship the Christ child. As the wise men followed the star, may we each turn our hearts heavenward and not just admire Jesus, but follow Him.
Blessings, sweet friends.
