"For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles and in every place incense shall be is offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for ;my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts." Malachi 1:11 When the Christian Church works for the spread of the Gospel, when we Christians live in such a way that the light of the Gospel shines forth in our lives and that men are drawn to Christ, we will never seek

EPIPHANY OF OUR LORD
Isaiah 60:1-6
Ephesians 3:2-12
Matthew 2:1-12 (11)
Psalm 72:1-14
This is the day the church remembers the journey by the wisemen of the East to the young baby Jesus. While we cannot travel to see the baby Jesus, we can be wise people.
The Magi followed the leadership of God. It was not just the star that led them to the house where the baby was, it was the Spirit of God. And when they left it was not by chance but again by God that they were directed to depart to go

"He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? Psalm 94:9 The Word of God reveals to us a God who is always busy in His world. He made it in the beginning, He saved it through the cross and He carries out His purposes day after day. We are to keep this in mind when we are facing the many problems of life. We may try, as many do, to solve these by ourselves. If we do, we are not living life to the fullest. We are then living in a world where the

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off eveything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Heb. 12:1
Anyone who has every gone on a journey knows that sharing that journey with someone makes the journey fun. Most of us like to have company along the way.
The Christian life and our journey into the new year is like that. As Christians we go on our way with the

"This is the day the LORD hath made let us rejoice and be glad in it." Isaiah 61:10-62:3 Eph. 1:3-18 John 1:18 Psalm 147:12-20 What an amazing beginning: a New Year! With a mixture of apprehension and anticipation we have awaited this unique marker in time. The whole world has watched with eagerness as we entered this new year after the birth of Christ. Today we are invited one more time to pause and reflect on the wonder and majesty that is Christmas. "The Word became flesh and

"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cures. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the LORD is your life, and He will give you many years in the land He swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Deut. 30:19,20 One of things in our modern world of which we have no shortage at all is words.

"Every perfect gift is from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17 (The Bible often compares goodness with light and evil with darkness. For other passages see-Psalm 27:1-Isiah 60:19-22-John 1:1-14) We begin a new year of our lives today with mixed feelings. God alone can and does know all the thoughts in our hearts. We have not walked this way before, and our minds are full of thoughts of what the year ahead may bring us. There are

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Heb. 13:8 One of the most precious gifts of life is a friend whom one can trust. God in His love has given us such a friend to walk with us into the new year. Our God is not far away. He is very near. He has come to find us where we are and to walk with us along life's road. We would be saddened, indeed, if we thought that such a great and good Friend would want to mingle only with people as good as Himself. But when we see

What world is filled with so much good, Little things that bring us pleasure, But Christ can fill our lives with joy, Beyond all earthly treasure.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Happiness is not a destination but a day-by-day journey.
