When you are planning a trip ““ you have a destination in mind. You get out your map or use the internet to determine the best way to get to where you are going. You may decide after your stay that you need to go another way home. That is what the wise men did”¦they took another way back to their country after they had presented their gifts to Jesus and had worshiped Him.

(NASB) Matthew 2:12 “And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.”

Wise men and women listen to godly warnings”¦what has God warned you about in the past and what were the results when you heeded those warnings?

What is the Lord warning you of today?

God”™s ways are not always what we would choose ““ however, what God has chosen for you and me will help us to mature as we trust in Him today.

How we spend our time reveals our desire and relationship with the living God.

Wise men and women “˜listen”™ with their minds and their hearts to God”™s words in the Holy Bible.

(My prayer is to ask the Lord to help me to choose those things that will help me to further grow as His child. My prayer is that I will be an ambassador for Christ in my home, in my neighborhood, in my church, in my city and that I ask for this prayer to be answered in the name of Jesus.

How did you respond to God yesterday?

How will you respond to God today?

The wise men listened and chose another route to take ““ what route do you need to choose to take today in order to respond to God”™s warning?
