🎄 25 Days of Praise — Day 23

Praise for the Wise Men Who Worshiped

📖 Scripture

“On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts…”
— Matthew 2:11 (NIV)

🔥 Prais-otional — Day 23: Praise for the Wise Men Who Worshiped

The wise men didn’t stop at seeing the star.
They didn’t stop at finding the Child.

They bowed.

They recognized that this was not just a king —
this was the King.

Gold for royalty.
Frankincense for divinity.
Myrrh pointing toward sacrifice.

Their gifts spoke.
But their posture said even more.

Today we praise God for the wise men who worshiped —
for hearts that understood that the greatest response to Jesus
is not admiration…
but surrender.

Worship is not about what we bring —
it’s about who we bow before.

Christmas reminds us that Jesus is worthy of our best,
our reverence,
and our lives laid down in trust.

True wisdom still kneels.

🙏 Prayer of Praise

God, today we praise You for the example of the wise men.
Teach us to come before Jesus with humble hearts and open hands.
May our lives be an offering of worship,
and may we never forget who we bow before.
Amen.
