Do you have a star on the top of your Christmas tree? I imagine you know why it has that spot.
The star is one of the mysteries we find in the Bible. If astrology is just superstition, how did the wise men know to follow it to Israel? Is there any evidence in astronomy that would explain it scientifially? Why doesn’t it happen today?
When you think about it there are a lot of anomalies that appear in scripture. How did Cain and Able know to offer sacrifices? How about Noah? Where did Balaam find a donkey that could speak? How did Balaam, outside the people of God, know to pass on the word of God? How did the witch raise the spirit of Samuel?
The answers will be given in the graduate level studies.
How many questions do you have? God will answer some, usually through your reading and remembering what is found in the Bible. Sometimes a sermon or book will get your mind running down paths that it would not have traveled on its own. Others we will just keep wondering about.
Rejoice that the wise men followed the star. Expect God to provide you with stars when you need them. Be willing to listen and follow.
Merry Christmas.
