Gold, frankincense, and myrrh ?

AMED-49.21

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Gold, frankincense, and myrrh ?

There were three wise men who brought treasures to Jesus after His birth. Although they are traditionally added to the manger scene, we know the Bible clearly describes them entering a house. Oops, I guess facts trump traditions every day. “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:11, NIV) 

Regardless of when they brought their gifts, we can’t help but love the symbolism and the depth of truth found in this story. These were wise men who had a revelation that a coming Messiah was about to be born. They followed a star, risked their lives, and worshiped a little baby. The story sounds so preposterous, but ancient tradition even names the three: Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar. 

Have you ever sought Jesus? Have you ever brought Him treasures that were meaningful to you? Someone once said, “wise men still seek Him.” I believe wise men still seek Him and give Him gifts. 

Have you ever given God your gifts and talents? 

Did you know that God wants your all? These wise men came ready to worship God with their gifts. I believe they brought gifts fit for a king. 

What will you give to Jesus this year? Can you make a conscious choice to give Him all of you? The lyrics of “Have It All” by Bethel Music are now ringing in my ears. “You can have it all, Lord. Every part of my world.” This song has become my prayer. Will it become yours? It all starts with a little prayer to Jesus. 

Because that’s how you become a miracle.

    This truly is the work of the Lord. It has inspired me. It has allowed me to share God’s intent for us as his creation. It saved my life and I believe without a doubt, it is a tool of God which has saved many lives and many souls. May God continue to be with you and with all involved in this calling, and with all your families.

    A miracle everyday has been a part of my life for years now. I get up super early so I can pray and read the word God has for me each morning to strengthen me and keep me on the right track. The special chosen songs just seem to make my prayer time even more special. Thank you A Miracle Everyday for bringing me peace through Gods word and encouragement to never give up.
