“Bethlehem in the land of Judah,
You are by no means least among the
leaders of Judah.
A leader will come from you.
He will shepherd My people Israel.”
Matthew 2:4-6
In a far-away place, the present day Iran, God was making a celestial Announcement to a
People who had no knowledge of the God of Israel. But there were a few men there who had been focusing their energies in watching the stars of the heavens. . . charting their courses, . . . noting the Supernatural Order of the galaxies and planets that filled the night skies. Their faith was not the Faith of God’s People, Israel. But in the darkness of night, God was present, and in a world that had little to no exposure to the God Who created the heavens and earth, He orchestrated a Celestial Announcement to a handful of men who were paying attention to the heavens. Their lack of exposure to God’s Word did not limit God’s abililty to draw these wise men to His existence and His Plans regarding the human life that He had put on the Earth.
God has His own unique Ways of reaching out to humanity . . . with or without our participation in His Plans. His Spirit knows no boundaries. His Heart has no limitations of “who” He will draw to Himself. In that long-ago Moment in His-story, God chose to communicate and tug on the hearts of men who did not know Him, but were paying attention. Despite the foreign land from which they came, the language barriers, the cultural differences, and the spiritual differences between the nation of Israel and the part of the world of these foreign “Wise Men,” God chose to reveal Himself to them. Unannounced, and in a way that they could understand, their hearts were motivated to search for the Source of what was pulling at their minds, spirits, and hearts. God orchestrated a new Thread into the Story He was unfolding for humanity that would carry
through centuries . . . until His Story would fill the earth.
He chose to use mortals . . . us . . . in His Story. . . to carry the Light of His Love and Presence
into our world. Whether a young teenage girl . . .astrologers . . . a carpenter . . . fishermen . . .
lame people, . . . blind people. . . hopelessly messed up people . . . even “dead” people, He
draws into His Story of Love. You have a Story, you are a Story, and in His Hands, He will use
it… YOU… for His Purposes in our world.
