There is one candle burning. I watch the flame. When there is a stirring of air the flame is stirred up as well. When it is quiet, the flame spreads a peaceful feature. I can watch it for quite a while. The thought occurred to me how the wise men watched and followed that star in the sky. It must have given them peace, knowing that they would find Jesus if they kept looking up.

Are we looking up this Christmas and worship a living Savior, who was born in Bethlehem? It was already foretold in the Old Testament where Jesus would be born. Mica 5:2 tells us “But Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah ... out of thee shall He come forth... that is to be ruler in Israel...  from everlasting.” In verse 5, it tells us that “this man shall be the peace...”

When we gather together with family and friends, or maybe alone in a room by ourselves, may we find peace in our heart when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Wishing you all a blessed Christmas.
