What would motivate 3 guys to make a huge perilous journey... travel hundreds... maybe thousands of miles... just to follow a star in the sky. Well... it wasn’t just the star. It’s what the star foretold... The Birth of The King of the Jews... The King of Kings... A Huge Change for All of Mankind!
.
What would motivate them to give up precious riches and priceless gifts. It was something obviously... that they knew was more valuable than all their wealth.
.
King Herod... caught the drift. He figured out the prophecies... and he decided it was bad for the family business. So much so... that he murdered every child in Bethlehem under the age of 2.
.
Remember Moses... being sent down the river in a basket? Same kind of scenario. Pharaoh was murdering every baby born in Egypt... trying to wipe out the competition before it became a problem.
.
How foolish... these worldly rulers... fighting, killing, murdering innocent little children... just for the lust... of holding on to that which is dust... and will never last. When will they ever learn... that... You Can’t Fight Against God.
.
In the end... the wise men worshipped... gave their gifts... and Christ fled with his parents to Egypt. The Prophecy Fulfilled... The Plan Perfected... & The Enemy... In Time... And... On Every Level... Defeated.
.
You can’t help but imagine... what those Wise Men must have realized in their hearts. That This Baby... Born On That 1st Christmas Day... Was Our Greatest Hope... Our Truest Salvation... And The Fulfillment Of All God’s Promises and Prophecies Gone Before. This Was CHRIST... The Son Of God!

The Heavens Declare The Glory of God
I absolutely love the daily inspirations on this website. I'm a single mom raising two kiddos and these bolts of light give me hope to keep fighting on. They really brighten my day. They remind me that nothing is too hard for Jesus. He never fails.

Wow. This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I was thinking about the future in this life, thinking how am I going to make it. He has always done so much for me in the past but what's going happen now? So, these are great promises.
Jesus, the same yesterday today and forever.
