Living It Out This Week

Advent is about journeys. Each character in the Christmas story must make a journey, somewhere. The same is true with you and me. May these verses help you journey to see Jesus the King of the Jews.

Sunday-Matthew 2.1-12: The journey of the Magi is a wonderful journey. What strikes you about their journey? What peaks your curiosity about the verses of our text? Pray that Christ would give you joy this week.

Monday-Matthew 2.13-18: Most people are not happy these days. How does the reaction of Herod illustrate our present day world? Yet, notice God is still in control.

Tuesday-Matthew 2.19-23: Does God use human wisdom, divine intervention or other ways of fulfilling His plan? How does the passage help answer the question for us? Pray for the wisdom of God as you make plans.

Wednesday-Numbers 24.15-19: Jesus would call himself the “bright morning star” in Revelation 22; alluding to this passage. Yet, the Magi and others may have noticed these words as well. What hints is God putting in your life about what He is up to?

Thursday-Psalm 72.1-20: The hope of Israel was that all nations would be blessed by them and this Psalm depicts some of the hope. What qualities of the king do you see in this Psalm?

Friday-Isaiah 11.1-9: Read these verses again with expectancy of what God is going to do next. Read with wonder at who Jesus is!

Saturday-John 3.30: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
