The stars are part of God’s creation, and as all that God has created, they are not only good, but beautiful and useful as well.

When God revealed to the wise men the coming of Christ into the world, he showed them His star, the star that is the Bright and Morning Star (Rev. 22:16).

Dear fellow-sufferer with Christ, look for this Star continually, especially if you are seeing a great darkness as Abraham did - a darkness of affliction (Gen. 15:12-13). 

Remember that this darkness, this suffering, is achieving for you a greater weight of glory (II Cor. 4:17). It will show you your eternal inheritance as it did to Abraham.

God not only gave Abraham a child and a land; He gave him Himself, as his reward (Gen. 15:1). No wonder Paul writes, and prays, that we might know the riches of the glory of HIS INHERITANCE in the saints (Eph. 1:18). It is His glory that He is giving to us, and who can estimate the preciousness of this. It is the unsearchable riches of Christ (Eph. 3:8).

Let us pray for God to open our eyes in this darkness of life - the darkness of evil - to enable us to see His star - the Bright and Morning Star. It will arise in all its glory once again, and the world will know that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. This God is our portion, our Inheritance, forever.

Let us follow His star as the wise men did, and we will surely come to see the child that was born, whose name is Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6).

Dear reader, to you who have not seen His star. Look up to the heavens, and see His stars, the stars that He has created, and know that HE IS. Can anything come out of nothing???

This Christmas, do not be unbelieving, for if you live to see His star as the Bright and Morning Star coming again without believing, it will be too late for you. The day of grace will be over. You will be a wandering star in the blackness of darkness, forever (Jude 13).

May you be wise as the wise men were, and follow His star until you come to Him. May God make it so for you, even this day (Heb. 3:7-13).
