Today’s scripture reading is Matthew 2:1-12<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why would Herod be concerned about wise men from the east asking about the new born King of the Jews?<\/p>\n

Read Micah 5:2<\/a><\/p>\n

Why would these men from the East be knowledgeable in the prophets of Israel?<\/p>\n

What was Herod’s ultimate motivation in encouraging the wise men to find the babe?<\/p>\n

Why did they bring the child gifts? What is the importance of each gift?<\/p>\n

Why did they not return to Herod?<\/p>\n

This daily devotional is simple. <\/em><\/p>\n

We post a scripture passage to read. We provide a link if you do not have a bible to read it on the web. If you are not fond of the version used, you can easily change to the version or translation you prefer.<\/em><\/p>\n

We then post questions about the text you just read. <\/em><\/p>\n

We do not have an answer key for the questions, the answer is found in your relationship with God.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the scripture, we have a link to an independent Christian music artist and their song. Maybe the song is a cover of a well known worship song, maybe the song is an original, and sometimes the recording isn’t what you would find from a high end studio, but we believe there is something of value in the recording. <\/em><\/p>\n

However you come about this devotional, we pray that your relationship is strengthened with God and that you grow in grace, love and truth.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
