Today's Devotion:
"A DIFFERENT Way"
There is an old saying:
"You can take the boy out of the country,
but you can't take the country out of the boy."
Here's another saying, which explains the
verse below.
"When we meet King Jesus, it is quite like
creativity;
We learn to talk, and do all things quite
differently!"
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Matt. 2:11-12
11 And when they were come into the house, they
saw the young child with Mary his mother, and
fell down, and worshipped him: and when they
had opened their treasures, they presented unto
him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they
should not return to Herod, they departed into their
own country another way.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
The wise men didn't appear in Jesus' story
until AFTER He was born.
They inquired of king Herod WHERE the child
would be born.
Of course, Herod was not a Bible student.
So, he didn't KNOW!
He asked "the wise men," and they recited
Micah 5:2, "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet
out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to
be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been
from old, from everlasting."
So, Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem with
instructions to return and tell him where this
mighty "KING of Israel" was located.
However, when the wise men had worshipped
Jesus, they were "warned of God" NOT to
return to Herod.
So they traveled, returning, to their homes by
a DIFFERENT way!
May I say, ALL who truly meet Jesus live life
by a DIFFERENT way!!
He is the "Light" of understanding that God
really loves people and wants to save them
from sin - which leads to ETERNAL death!
The "life" of Christ, born in us, should cause
us to live a DIFFERENT way!!
We learn to live life HIS way, and not
"MY way!"
Love ya!
