Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.” When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy.
May we always be willing
to be led by a star
to search diligently
to pay homage
to revise our plans
and to change direction
And may we be
overwhelmed with joy
when we encounter
God with us
May we travel expectantly
with hope
in the power of God
to make a difference
especially when all seems lost
And may we not rest
when we think we’ve arrived
but, giving thanks for what is,
move on with purpose
to what will be.
Epiphany
The gift that keeps on giving.
