Star light, star bright, The first star I see tonight...........

Good morning everyone!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!
    Okay, remember, Herod told the Maji's to return and tell him where the baby is so that he may come worship him as well.  Hmmmm!  Sly ole fox.  He just does not want anyone around who may challenge his throne.  The Maji's went to Bethlehem, which is only about 5 miles from Jerusalem.
   They followed the star which came and stood over where the young child was.  Let us stop and think about the 'star' for a moment.  When we, purely mortal people, think of the stars we know the natural way is the earth rotates on its axis and, if you will, the stars come up in the East and set in the West.  This is just natural.  Well, let us think of this situation this way.  This is not a natural event, this is the birth of Jesus Christ, son of man, God the Father in human form.  Far from natural.
    Do you not think this would be an occasion for a "supernatural" event to occur?  Many speculate about the star.  Let me tell you this.  The inspired word of God says there was a star leading the Maji and who am I to disagree or try to explain the star.  The star is a supernatural phenomena leading the Maji to find and worship my saviour, Jesus Christ.  Don't get hung up on little events.
   This brings to mind the nursery rhyme:
Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

   The 3 wisemen found the child, came in and worshiped him with gifts.  Now, all this is supernatural.  Why would 3 men, out of nowhere, suddenly decide to come, follow a star, find a child, bring gifts and worship a "CHILD" unless there was something special?  You tell me.
   Aww, the Bible is just ancient words written by male chauvinistic people of old.  Well, it is ancient as this happened 2000 years ago; it was a male centered world, however, these are not just 'any words' but the inspired WORD OF GOD!  If you believe, truly believe in Jesus Christ, then you know the Bible is not a smorgasbord of words to pick and choose from; but words from God of which to heed.
    Well, the Maji find the child, deliver the gifts, worship the child, and they receive a warning from God not to return to Herod.  So they returned to their homeland, not through Jerusalem, but another route.  When you find Jesus, as did the Maji, your life's direction may change as did the Maji's.  Has your life changed since you found the Christ child?  Since you found Jesus?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
