I Can Give My Heart to Him
Read: Matthew 2:1-12
When the wise men arrived, Jesus was likely just a young child. He hadn’t healed or taught anyone yet, but the wise men were overjoyed simply to see Him, showering Him with gifts fit for a king. They celebrated Jesus purely for who He was—the promised King and miracle child.
“And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11).
God is pleased when we thank Him for His blessings, but even if He never did another thing, He would still be worthy of our worship. Romans 12:1 reminds us that true worship is offering our lives to God as a “living sacrifice.” Worship is devoting ourselves to God’s plan each day, giving Jesus the greatest gift of all—a heart fully His.
Let’s thank God for His goodness, but today, let’s worship Him for who He is, following the wise men’s example in honoring the King of kings.
TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK:
> How does it feel to praise God for who He is?
> What do you love about Jesus? Tell Him.
