Last night, the Children & Student Ministries at Bridges of Hope Fellowship presented their very first Christmas program. They did a fabulous job! I'm so proud of them all. Also, I am thankful to have people like Rick & Kennette Dixon serving on our team to work with them. We are blessed!
Today, it's a full day of visits, meetings, and then my family and I are off to Chattanooga, Tennessee to spend time and have a Christmas dinner with my dad. While we're there, we just might take in the mall and a little window shopping! Looking forward to all that the day and week holds.
Let's take a look at the carol, "We Three Kings Of Orient Are."
O star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect Light.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
It’s often difficult for people to understand that Jesus was born just like us. He wasn’t born in a luxurious palace or a fancy hospital. He was born outside, in a manger. He came into a world filled with sin, yet he lived an absolutely perfect life. He came to lead us, and guide us into a loving relationship with God.
The three wise men are a great example of what complete submission to God looks like. The moment they saw the star they likely dropped everything they were doing and embarked on a long journey that was most likely difficult at times. The men had no idea where they were going, but placed their complete trust in a star to lead them. They devoted everything to seeking Him no matter the cost. Just like the three men in this song followed a shining star to see Jesus when he was born, if we submit ourselves to God, He will direct our paths and be a perfect guide for our lives.
What are the areas in your life you need to submit to God?
Try to remember a time where you did submit something to God. What was the outcome of that situation?
