Mary and the Shepherds both receive a word that changes their lives. They did not hesitate when they received their word and acted immediately. When God gives us a word, it is special just for us, and we must receive that word and act to fulfill the purpose God has for us.

Romans is an interesting book. Paul is writing to a church he has never been to. He begins with a compliment and, in so doing, begins to tear down the walls of resistance and distance. He had to establish a rapport with people with whom he had no relationship and who only knew him by reputation. We can learn from Paul’s approach to reach a world that only knows us by our reputation.

We all have seen a maze. Twists and turns that, most of the time, lead to a dead end. Only one way leads to the exit. In life, we do not have the luxury of looking ahead to plan our route like we do with the maze on the coloring sheet. Our text is from the story of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. Herod instructed the wise men to return to him with word of Jesus’ location. God warned the wise men not to return to Herod, so the bible says they departed another way. God can see it all; if we listen to Him, He will direct us through the maze to where we need to be. If we obey the voice of God, it will keep us from dead ends and wrong turns. God directs us to a way to go that may be different from how we came. His way is better because He sees our future and the obstacles we cannot see. We are not going to find the right way accidentally, we have to be intentional about listing to God to hear his direction. There may be multiple paths, but there is a reason God is sending us a certain way.

The power of our thoughts is more significant than we understand. Thoughts shape our lives and our view of life. Often a stray thought can disrupt and destroy a beautiful moment. That creeping thought takes over our minds and pushes out the beauty before us. These invading throughs can deny us the beauty and peace of life. The power of our thoughts has a tremendous influence on our happiness. We are a thought away from defeat or a thought away from victory, depending on the direction of that thought. Our text says as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Every thought is a doorway that leads us somewhere. What thoughts arise in our hearts that keep us from stepping through a door to a higher spiritual dimension?
