“Exceeding Joy and True Worship”

In today’s devotional, we reflect on Matthew 2:7-12 and the journey of the wise men to meet Jesus. Guided by the light of a star, they find the Light of the World and respond with overwhelming joy, worship, and gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their story reveals the heart’s natural gravity toward Jesus, the King who fills us with joy and compels us to worship.

Despite King Herod’s deceitful intentions, the wise men follow God’s guidance and discover the deep joy that accompanies encountering Christ. Their response—bringing their best gifts and bowing in worship—reminds us of the call to offer our whole selves to Jesus as an act of worship.

This Advent, how will you respond to the coming of Jesus? What areas of your life is He inviting you to lay down before Him to experience the fullness of His joy? Join us as we reflect and pray for hearts that overflow with worship and surrender to Christ. Subscribe now and journey with us toward the joy of Christmas!

What is Advent? It is the season of remembering and rejoicing. We remember Christ’s first coming as a baby born in Bethlehem and joyfully anticipate his second coming, when he will return to renew and redeem every part of the fallen creation. The Advent season is a time to reflect upon God's promises and anticipate their fulfillment.

Join us on this journey of hope.
