The last half of the third verse of "The First Noel" (I'm really glad I'm not a math major or I'd have to do that all the time!) really stuck out to me. I wasn't familiar with it, but it struck a chord.
"To seek for a King was their intent, and to follow the Star wherever it went."
Two things. My calling in life is first and foremost to know the One who calls me. We're called to seek God's face, not God's hand or His plan. My intent each and every day should be to seek after God, that I would know Him better.
The second phrase reminded me of a quote that really struck me last Christmas, which I blogged about then. Mark Alexander of The Patriot Post wrote a great essay for their special Christmas edition, and included this:
When we make God our North Star, we are guided precisely along the path He has prepared for us, even though we do not know where it leads.
May my intent this Advent be to seek my King and follow Him wherever He leads.
