Devotion:
Read Matthew 2:16-18.
Mary experiences life as a refugee. One wonders how soon she heard the news of all the children being killed in Bethlehem. As tragic a loss of these children, God was still at work. There was still a reason to hope. That is how it is with God. We are never beyond the reach of God’s grace and the touch of His love. No matter how we feel. No matter how much we are struggling. God brings people into our lives in divine encounters of His grace. Just as the wise men were an encouragement and (possibly) provided provisions for a journey their family didn’t even know was about to occur. The circle of grace continues when we are able to pass the blessing on to others through tender touches, encouraging words, and expressions of value. We have the privilege of passing hope along to others. These gifts in God’s hands infuse our lives, and the lives we touch, with hope and encouragement for life’s journey.
