Renew the Fire Within
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)
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.—Matthew 2:9 (NIV)
Soon after Christ’s birth, the Wise Men followed the star that led them directly to where the Holy Family was staying. What was that miraculous light in the sky that we call the Star of Bethlehem? In a sermon, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale speculated that perhaps that important star was actually an angel. “Look for angelic messages in your life,” he advised, “not just at Christmas but every single day of the year.”
Dear Lord, may the glory that You sent to the Wise Men so long ago shine on us, around us and through us as long as we live.
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.—Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV)
