when
they saw the star
SCRIPTURE
"When they saw the star, they were
overjoyed." Matthew 2:10
OBSERVATION
This verse makes reference to the second the time the
Magi saw the star. The first time was when they saw it immediately after Jesus
was born. The second time was after the Magi went to ask King Herod about the
newborn king. Therefore, their joy the second time seeing the star was probably
not due to the fact that Jesus had been born, but more than likely due to the
fact that they were about to personally meet Him face-to-face
APPLICATION
Have you ever skipped church for a weekend? Sometimes
it feels like attending is just what you're supposed to do on a Sunday, but
it's not something you always look forward to with excitement. However, the
Magi were overjoyed with the fact they were about to be in the presence of
Jesus. Try changing your perspective this Sunday at church and realize it is a
gift to be in the presence of God.
PRAYER
God, I want to be overjoyed in your presence. I know
you don't just live at a church, but that you are everywhere. Help me to feel
your presence and to have a grateful attitude like the Magi. Amen.
Ko e hā ha founga ‘e lava ke ke ma‘u ai ‘a
e fiefia ke ke fie ‘alu ki he feohi – ‘o ‘ikai te ke kumi ha ‘uhinga ke ke
li‘aki ai? –
(What
are some ways to keep you excited about attending worship, rather than looking
for ways to miss out?)
