From now until Christmas I'm memorizing 12 scriptures that point to the glory of the season. Jesus Christ. To start from the beginning click here.
"12 Days of Christmas Scripture Memory"
Day 10: Matthew 2:11
"After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother;
and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him.
Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him
gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
Often in the Christmas Season we get so caught up with the giving of gifts.
I mean it's Biblical right - the Wise Men brought three gifts and presented them to baby Jesus.
And they spent a lot of money on them, gifts worthy of a KING.
That is great and all, but please don't be in such a rush to miss the first part of this verse.
"After coming into the house they saw the Child... and they
fell to the ground and worshiped Him."
This was before they presented gifts.
As the big day comes closer,
are you remembering to fall before the King
and WORSHIP Him?
In fact, this is the best offering we can make to God.
Our worship
Ourselves as a living sacrifice.
What are you offering to God today?
