“When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel” (Matthew 2:4-6)

God’s word is indeed a light and a guide today. Psalm 119:105 says: “Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of Your Word makes my pathway clear.” The word had said it all along how the Saviour would be born. God used a sign to guide to magi (from the east) who didn’t yet have the word, but to us God guides us through His word. Jesus said once: “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe” (John 4:48). God is urging us to believe His word which never fails and keep it closely (Luke 2:19).

Paul exhorted Timothy (and us) saying: “But the evil men and sorcerers will progress from bad to worse, deceived and deceiving, as they lead people further from the truth. Yet you must continue to advance in strength with the truth wrapped around your heart, being assured by God that He’s the One who has truly taught you all these things. Remember what you were taught from your childhood from the Holy Scrolls which can impart to you wisdom to experience everlasting life through the faith of Jesus, the Anointed One!” Powerful! His word brings advancement in strength and wisdom for everlasting life! May this truth encourage our hearts always in the scriptures. Praise the Lord!
