God's Acre On the Go: Guiding Light

In this episode, we focus on the story of the Magi in Matthew 2:1-15 which offers insight into seeking purpose and direction in life. During the dark and oppressive rule of King Herod, the Magi followed a celestial star, trusting it would lead them to a king. Their journey brought them to Jesus, filling them with joy and changing their course. This epiphany reminds us to seek light in times of uncertainty and darkness.

The Magi’s willingness to ask for direction and follow signs highlights how openness to God’s guidance can reshape our lives. In contrast, Herod, driven by fear and insecurity, resisted seeking truth, resulting in cruelty and destruction. For those searching for clarity, the story encourages asking God what He desires for us and paying attention to the signs—be it scripture, dreams, or inner callings.

When we follow God’s light, like the Magi, we not only find purpose but also become light for others.
