As I sat this morning pondering on what to write I gazed up
at the Christmas tree and saw one little tiny light that flickered. I thought, “that light cannot already go out,
those are brand new lights.” It
flickered and dimmed over and over again. I knew if I turned the lights off to
investigate I would never be able to distinguish which light it was. It was far up on the tree and there were so
many lights.
This led me to thinking about the wise men and how they
followed the twinkling north star to find the wonderful baby Jesus. Matthew recorded in Matthew 2:9 that the
birth of Jesus was accompanied by an extraordinary celestial event; a star led
the “wise men” to Jesus. The star “went
before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.” This star didn’t fail, it didn’t flicker, it
didn’t burn completely out it gave a continuous light for those who needed
direction.
Our star, the Lord God, is shining brightly everyday for us
to follow. He will never fail us or shut
out His light. He will never grow dim or
disappear. He is always present leading
the way. He is even there to carry us
when we need it.
Whenever you feel that God’s light has gone dim think
again. His light is always shining for
us, leading us, guiding us, loving us, and providing for us. All we must do is look for His light, be open
to Him and trust Him with every situation that we encounter. Receive by faith what He has for us.
No matter what is going on in your life, no fear your star
is always here! God goes where you go
always and forever. His light is shining
for you.
