“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.

“The Shepherd King”

Today’s devotional takes us to Matthew 2:1-6, where we witness the arrival of the wise men, drawn by a star, seeking the newborn King. Their journey leads them to King Herod, whose troubled heart reveals the stark contrast between earthly power and the divine authority of Jesus. The prophecy from Micah is fulfilled in Bethlehem as the humble ruler, the Good Shepherd, arrives to care for and lead His people.

This Shepherd King redefines power and authority with His love, selflessness, and willingness to lay down His life for His sheep. As we reflect on the omnipotent God who came near, we are invited to consider the beauty of His kind and intentional lordship over our lives.

Join us in prayer as we marvel at the Shepherd King’s loving rule and seek to surrender our hearts to His guidance. Subscribe now to continue this Advent journey and encounter the transformative power of Christ each day.

“God With Us”

In today’s devotional, we reflect on Matthew 1:18-25 and the miraculous story of Jesus’ birth. Through Joseph’s encounter with an angel, we witness his wrestling with doubt, his courage to trust God’s plan, and his obedience to play a pivotal role in the divine story of redemption. The angel’s message of Emmanuel—“God with us”—fulfills God’s long-standing promise, reminding us of His faithfulness across generations.

As we explore the significance of God’s nearness, we’re invited to surrender control of our own stories to trust in His greater plan. How does the reality of God with us shape your daily trust in Him?

Join us in prayer as we marvel at the gift of Jesus, asking for a deeper understanding of His presence and faithfulness. Subscribe now and let the hope of Advent fill your heart this season!
