A daily thought
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]DAILY THOUGHT[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] What does the world seek in life? Many seek riches. Others chase fame. Still others race after success. Some pursue pleasure.
Who were these magi of the East? We don’t know a lot about them, not even how many there were, but we do know that they were men of goodwill who wanted to discover spiritual truth. The cost of their journey and the gifts they carried would have been staggering, so they weren’t in this for personal gain. Their first concern wasn’t their own safety or they would have let Herod know the location of the Child on their return home. If it was comfort they sought, they would have never begun the journey in the first place.
No, these men had sincere hearts. They knew there was something greater than they already knew and they were willing to pay the cost to discover it. In the same way, if we are wise, we still seek to know God in His fullness today. And that trip begins with a visit to a manger.
Father, help me to know You and Your ways and Your truth as never before. Amen.:smiley90: [/FONT]
