Matthew 2:11-12
11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
Because of the gold, frankincense, and myrrh, we always presume there were Three Wisemen. We only really know there was more than one because they are referred to as they, them, and we. We also know they were astrologers that read and followed the signs they were given. So, when it says, “having been warned in a dream” it is no surprise that they once again followed the sign. The thing that I do find funny, is they were both warned in a dream. I can only imagine the conversation around the breakfast table over the coffee that morning. . . LOL! You know the one,
“Hey I had this strange dream last night”
“Really? Me too! What was yours about?”
The first one tells his dream only to hear his companion(s) yell, “Oh, my gosh! I had the same dream!”
The important part is they took the time to listen and then followed. During this busy season, take the time to listen. Listen to God and follow His directions. I know it can get rather hectic, but it is so important we take time to listen.
Lord, I know this time of year can get out of hand very quickly. I want to take the time each day to listen and connect with You. ~amen
