DAILY VITAMIN
Follow the light you see.
God rarely reveals the entire path at once. He gives enough light for the next faithful step and asks us to trust Him with the rest.
Pray for courage to follow the light God has already given you.
Identify one small step of obedience you have been delaying.
Take that step today, trusting God to reveal what comes next.
INSPIRATIONAL STORY
The God Who Is Found by Those Who Look
You are standing outside at night, the air cold and quiet.
Above you, the sky stretches wide, scattered with stars. One of them looks different. Brighter. Steadier. Impossible to ignore.
You do not have a map.
You do not have certainty.
You only have a sense that if you follow that light, it will lead you somewhere holy.
That is how the story of the Magi begins.
Faith often starts with a stirring, not a full explanation.
The Magi were not kings by birthright alone. They were scholars, observers, seekers. Men who studied the heavens and paid attention when something unusual appeared. When they saw the star, they did not dismiss it. They moved.
They left comfort.
They left familiarity.
They chose a long journey with no guarantee of how it would end.
That is what Epiphany really is.
The moment God reveals Himself to those willing to seek.
God often reveals Himself to those who are paying attention.
Think about their journey for a moment.
They traveled far.
They asked questions along the way.
They made mistakes, even stopping first at a palace instead of a humble home.
Yet God did not abandon them for getting the route wrong.
When they left Herod’s presence, Scripture tells us the star appeared again. And when they saw it, they rejoiced with exceeding joy.
God was still guiding them.
Detours do not disqualify sincere faith.
Eventually, the Magi arrived. Not at a throne. Not at a royal court. But at a house. And there, they found a child.
Matthew 2:11 tells us, “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.”
They offered gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Costly. Intentional. Symbolic.
But the greatest gift they gave was worship.
True wisdom always leads to humility.
And then something beautiful happens.
Warned in a dream, they returned home by another route.
They left changed.
They walked a different path because encountering Jesus always alters direction.
This is the heart of Epiphany.
God reveals Himself not to impress us, but to transform us.
You may be in a season of searching.
Following a light that does not yet make sense.
Walking a long road with questions still unanswered.
Take heart.
The same God who guided the Magi is guiding you.
Keep seeking.
Keep moving.
Keep watching the light.
Because when you pursue Jesus sincerely, you will find Him.
And you will never leave the same way you came.

Action: Go out of your way to do a favor for a friend, coworker, or family member today.
