*📖THE REAL GUIDE*

📜When they saw the star, they were overjoyed *Matthew 2:10 (NIV)*
📋There is a lead star to guide those who yearn to see the face of God; the Holy Spirit is that lead “star.” But like the magi who thought Jesus could have been born in a palace and went asking Herod about the new born king, we could also lose focus on where to see our Lord and end up at the wrong places. Human wisdom suggests that a king is born in a palace but the wisdom of God is different. Joy returns to these wise men only after they relocated the star. The wise men followed a star guiding their steps until by human analogy, they diverted to the wrong place. It was only the star that could lead them to their destination. Each of us may also be yearning for the presence of God. We have a guide in our hearts—the Word of God we have heard and are convinced of. The Holy Spirit uses this word to guide us. But what do we mistakenly do? Today, we take prophets to be better guides and custodians of God. Some of these people are false prophets who lead their followers astray. Where is the Holy Spirit (the star) that led us to Christ in the first place? Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
