“When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road” (Matt. 2:9-12NRSV).
After searching for, and finding the child Jesus the Magi were warned not go go back to Herod but to go back another way. On this first day of this new year we search anew for Jesus. We search, we find, we go back another way. We don’t go back the way we came. After spending time with Jesus we go back with renewed perspectives. We go back with changed hearts. We go back energized and ready to receive more of what God has.
Because we have spent time we can release the crazy and receive what he has for us. Get still and ask what it is that you can now release, that you don’t need to keep doing. When you hear trust that you can. Then hear what you are to receive from him. It was alway there but you ay not have been ready. It’s time. Release to receive- go back another way. Happy new year! Blessings of more in this year! more later.
