Wednesday
Matthew 2:9-11; Psalm 95:1-7
The Magi didn't just admire Jesus from a distance—they bowed down and worshiped Him. These elite scholars, who bowed to no earthly king, fell prostrate before a child. Then they opened their treasures: gold for His royalty, frankincense for His deity, and myrrh prophetically pointing to His sacrificial death.
True worship demands more than sentiment; it requires surrender. It's not about admiring Jesus on Sundays while living for yourself the rest of the week. Worship that costs nothing is probably worth nothing. The Magi brought their most valuable possessions because they recognized who Jesus truly was.
What costly sacrifice is Jesus calling you to offer? Maybe it's your time, your resources, your dreams, or your control. Worship Him today not just with words or songs, but with the treasures of your life—the things that matter most to you. Let your entire life become an act of worship to the King.
