el Viento de Ya Vienen Los Reyes Magos
as the celebrations come to a close, some do it in style. A friend at church was sharing how Christmas is celebrated where she grew up in Mexico. The culmination was El dia de los Reyes - the Three Kings (Wise Men); it ends as we should in the search for Christ. I realized that the people celebrating this festivity were not expecting a Santa Claus; but truly focused on the reason for the season. I applaud that.
The 6th also coincides with the end of the 12 days of Christmas. It is usually by now that all the holiday decorations will be taken down and stored for the year. The stores began putting their Valentine ware out right away and so the world moves on.
The winds have roared through the Inland Empire of late, interspersed with sporadic days of rain. The air is clean and fresh while big rigs have pushed headlong to make their appointed rounds. The broom of God has been in hand in a winter warmer than usual for some and for others buried in snow.
A page has turned; it is a new year. But while the face of things has a new and expectant look, some things are constant. The truth of God is constant in a world that moves on. The Bible teaches that unless the cloud or the fire (the leading of God) says move, one should not. But upon such leading, one should not hesitate.
So while the world boxes up their Christmas and moves on to the next craze, keep the love for Christ in your heart in abundance and make use of the refreshing of breath and water to take Him in deeply, being replenished to move in the direction He has chosen for you.
Like the wise men, find Him, know Him, give of yourself to Him, and redirect yourself as He has now revealed Himself to you.
Blessings,
