Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
One of my favorite things to do is to watch families wherever they are gathered, at parties or malls or some event.
I love to watch the exquisite expressions on the faces of grandparents as they watch their grandchildren play or do something cute. It delights my heart to see mommies and little girls walking hand in hand or a father holding his little bundle of joy while the mother is busy shopping.
My heart fills with great joy to see that love is the ultimate expression of who God is.
One Christmas holiday I was at the mall and had the privilege of seeing grandparents being reunited with the grandchildren. The hugs, the kisses and cuddling in one phrase and there was exceedingly great joy filling the mall.
What brings us exceeding joy? A great bank account, a healthy child, a much needed vacation or a beautiful home, or maybe even a wonderful mate?
But, we are called to be like the three wise men whose eyes were frantically looking for the star. It is believed that these three wise men were gentiles. How much more should you and I search for that “Star” who brightens our path and who hovers over us?
Jesus became man so that we could become sons of God. Wise men still seek Him.
