12 Days of Christmas: Pay Attention!

One of the most intriguing aspects about Jesus' birth to me is the story of the wise men who came to visit Him.

These are men who traveled from a great distance all because they saw a star. Their studies of astronomy was so detailed and informed they knew that a king had been born all because a new star appeared in the sky. They knew that it was just any old king either. This king was special enough to warrant them travelling out of their countries, bringing along with them great gifts of great treasure.

All because of a star that appeared in the sky.

Do you pay attention to the 'signs' that God places in your path? When something new shows up on your horizon, are you handling it appropriately? You may just see a star, but is God trying to signal to you the birth of something greater?

Don't take anything for granted! Pay attention to the Holy Spirit. Stay sensitive to what God is trying to show you.

That new relationship, new job, or new idea may be signalling something far greater than it's face value. Don't dismiss what you think you see. Don't discredit something that may hold great value for your life. Open up your eyes, put in the work, and watch where God brings you!

Verse of the Day: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him... And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:1, 2, 11
