Why does North and South America differ in terms of their economic growth?
In North America the people are coming with good intentions
In South America the people were coming to dig for gold
Proof that people who look for God will grow.
Example Singapore and South Korea as God blesses these nations.
In Thailand people are constantly looking for money, wealth. This created a lot of costs for the people.
Searching for wealth, does it offer satisfaction and happiness?
The Creator knows how to mend our lives, as He created us. God knows what we need. God can help us.
Today`s verse:
The three wise men, saw the star in the sky and they know that it`s from God and wants to meet Him.
They came to Jerusalem, met Herod who asked them to investigate and find out who is the messiah.
Four people look for God for different reasons
1) that three wise men came to worship Jesus with faith and sincerity.
Herod wanted to get rid of Jesus.
To look for Jesus they had a lot of faith as the star is the only leading point for them. They saw the value, and no matter how far or difficult, they got up and go to search for God. From there sincerity they met God
. Matthew 13.44-46
We need to know what`s important and best for us in life.
A tourist spot of Pokemon card for 10,000 baht in Thailand and sold it on eBay for 15 million baht.
He saw the value of the card.
People who see the value of God will make the fullest use and blessings.
They will be willing to put in a lot just to get to follow God.
The three wise men saw the value of god.
We always have time for the things that are important in life for us. We cannot give the excuse that we do not have time for God.
Like the three wise men who was smart to know what`s good for them. We have to look for things that are good for us.
2) Herod. He says he wants to know who so as he can worship Him
The wise men were warned in a dream not to tell Herod so they left in a different path.
Herod is royalty. Having another royalty appear is a threat to him and he had to kill Jesus.
What kind of Christian we are depends on what we are striving for
Herod wants power and he decided to kill all the male babies below 2 years old
