Matthew 2:11-12
"And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.  And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him:  gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  Then, Being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way."

    Our enemy, the same enemy of our FATHER (satan), plots and plans how he may harm us.  But even as in the above scripture, our FATHER makes provision for a way of escape for us.  The wise men would have been harmed if they had returned to Herod as he had requested of them.  So, also, the CHRIST child and His parents would have been harmed if they had remained in Bethlehem.  

    However, if the wise men had not followed the star to Bethlehem, the gifts would not have been given.  The gold, frankincense, and myrrh were gifts related to the fact that He was a King who would be sacrificed for mankind.  Throughout the gospels JESUS gave His disciples examples of how this was to be.  The FATHER sent His Son for this purpose.

    When the FATHER has a message that He wants to be brought forward, He will send us forth.  We should not worry about how we shall return.  For He will take us down the path that He knows will be best for us.  

    Join with me today, with an open heart before GOD, and willingly follow the Morning Star without concern for tomorrow.  After all, we know we can trust Him to always give us His very best.
