SCRIPTURE:

9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
Matthew 2:9-10

STAR

Yo….Imagine seeing the star that led you to Jesus.

But deeper than that. Imagine being a wise man. It is likely that you were Eastern which is modern day Asia. Not only were you Eastern but you studied the religion so much that you were considered a “wise man,” even by the Jews.

Even by Kings. King Herod.

And you were the one who was looked to for sage advice by the gods. Well, you likely had already experienced miracles like the star. But imagine studying the stars for years and what you have studied coming to fruition. You would also be overjoyed. That’s how the wisemen were. There were overjoyed (verse 10). What a feeling that must be.

I want that feeling this Christmas. Now we are not only talking about joy we are talking OVERYJOY. BLESSED!!! LOL..IT MUST INVOLVE CAPITALS.lolWell hopefully that’s what Christmas is like. Overjoy .But it’s also covid season, people are dying, families are being torn apart. It’s a weird (but better?) political time and relationships are funny. But God is good. At least for a moment right?

Can we just be overjoyed for a moment? Because even the wise men eventually lost the feeling of being overjoyed. No one experiences that forever. So just try and hold on to the joy and to the overjoy. Ride it out as long as you can. Because the times come sometimes few and far times in between.

So ride that wave! Love you guys.

Merry Christmas!
