Wise Men Still Seek Him.

In our world you're considered wise if you get a degree of some kind. You're really cherished if you capture a Masters degree or a PhD.  Your pay will increase as you graduate with such things and you will be esteemed by your family and colleagues. 

Life seems to be somewhat satisfying and you feel you have accomplished something, yet if your spiritual life is not right then these things will make you feel empty.

I love this phrase in the photo above. "Wise men still seek him." God cares about things you accomplish in this life but nothing is more wiser to him than seeking his Son. 

In God's eyes you are wise when you give your heart to his loving son Jesus. I often wonder why our world puts more pride in worthless things than in eternal things. 

A lot of people have trouble with the story of Jesus. It's hard to believe in a Virgin that had a heavenly seed placed in her. It's something most people can't grasp. In the times before Jesus arrived it was foretold that a king or savior would be born in Bethlehem. They thought he would arrive in a majestic way, but he came in a humble way that no one ever expected. 

I'm humbled by the way Jesus came into this world. Arriving in an animal stable is probably not the most sanitary of situations, but that is how God planned it.  Our God is humble in every way, he accepts all who come to him by accepting his  son. Our God promises us eternal life if you accept Jesus and live by faith throughout your life. If you just do this you'll be considered wise in the eyes of our creator forever.  Only wise men seek him. Be wise!
