Following the Star

The shepherds saw the angels, the wise men followed a star. The followed it to find the savior of the world. You may ask; did they really know all that was attached to this moment?Did they really know that songs would be written, that the Bible with the Greatest Story ever told would include them? I think not.

Yet; even for us to follow that unction could lead to something greater. A spiritual unction that leads to that solitary act could become the special moment that we all desire. More importantly it led to a truly divine moment. Could all that separates our lives from divine moments be the act of hearing and surrendering to God's spirit as it compels us.

I don't think we can say that we are not spiritual enough. The wise men were stargazers, magi, oriental astrologers. Not predictors of the future but rather those studying the skies, seasons, and time. The shepherds were not learned spiritual men, nor were they scholars but yet they are now included in plays, songs, scenes set on lawns and coffee tables. Just think perhaps the greatest story being told of today could include you; there is just one thing that separates you from something greater.

Sunday we will look at how a spiritual unction with a solitary action could lead to something genuinely special.
