Hello Everyone,

A wise man’s journey is one of FAITH.

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”


What would cause someone to leave the comfort of their homes to go on a dangerous journey? Romance? Yes. Wealth? Most definitely. But faith? Yes – faith. “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?

There is no doubt in their minds that He had been born – the question is “Where is He?” They had seen the star – the evidence was real – now where is He?

They had faith that He was alive – that He existed – now all they needed to do was to find Him. Their purpose was established – find Him. And so they were willing to risk everything to find Him.


Can you imagine their neighbor’s reaction? “Are you going on a journey?” “Yes.” “Where are you going?” “We don’t know for sure.” “How far is it?” “Well we don’t know that either.” How long are you going to be gone?” Well were not quite sure on that either.” “Boy for wise men you sure don’t know much do you?”

But you know they must have said the same things to Abraham when he left his home for the Promised Land. They must have said the same things to Noah who was building an ark.

They must have said the same kind of things to Peter, Andrew, James and John when they left their fishing nets to become fishers of men.


FACT: God’s journeys always involve FAITH.

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (MSG)

People of faith have been willing to respond to the challenges of the unknown over and over again down through history.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
