The Star that Shines
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024
Bible Verse:
“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with overwhelming joy.”
– Matthew 2:10 (EHV)
Devotion:
Imagine you’re on a super long trip, and suddenly, your GPS says, “You’ve arrived!” That’s how the wise men must’ve felt when they saw the star stop above the place where Jesus was. They’d been traveling for months, maybe even years, to find the new King, and now their journey was complete.
That star wasn’t just a cool light in the sky—it was a sign that God was leading them to Jesus. Just like He guided the wise men with a star, God guides us too! Through the Bible, prayer, and His love, He helps us find our way to Jesus.
Questions:
Why did the wise men follow the star?
What do you think the wise men felt when they finally found Jesus?
How does God guide us today?
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for leading us to Jesus, just like You led the wise men with the star. Help us to follow You and share Your light with others. Amen.
Activity Idea:
Cut out a paper star and decorate it with glitter or shiny materials. Write “Jesus is my light” on it and hang it up as a reminder of how God guides us.
Full Bible Reference:
“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with overwhelming joy. After they went into the house and saw the child with Mary, his mother, they bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Since they had been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route.”
– Matthew 2:10-12 (EHV)
