Sometimes, I have writers block when I can’t think a thought in the world. Today, I have so many thoughts circling in my brain, I can’t determine what to write about.
So lets start with that 80’s countdown – Thanks Josh. This one is a classic. Last Christmas by WHAM. What a fun way to countdown to the such a great day. Its almost here. Man, I have to figure out what to get Amy! Any ideas out there? I was thinking about this. I love that sight!
Anyway, Westward Leading.. Could you imagine being the shepherds in the field. I have thought about this for years and was reminded Saturday and Sunday night about how incredible it was for them to have the angels speak to them. Could you imagine what was going on with the wise men as they followed the star? What where there thoughts? “Lets go follow a star to a baby. Yeah, that sounds good!”. That’s pretty amazing.
However, today we are asked to do the same thing. Follow the Star of Bethlehem. Will you? Today, look up, find the Star, and follow it, just like these wise men. ( I love that bumper sticker “Wise Men Still Follow Him”)
Matthew 2:1-2
1After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east[b] and have come to worship him.”(NIV)
And the Message
1-2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem village, Judah territory— this was during Herod’s kingship—a band of scholars arrived in Jerusalem from the East. They asked around, “Where can we find and pay homage to the newborn King of the Jews? We observed a star in the eastern sky that signaled his birth. We’re on pilgrimage to worship him.” (MSG)
Have a great day, and follow that star .. “westward leading..still proceeding…..”
