"catch a falling star......

and put it in your pocket,
save it for a rainy day.
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
never let it get away." (a song by Perry Como)

I love the stars in the night sky.
They were all made by God and hung in their places.

It was a star that led the wise men to Jesus.
God placed a special star there over the place where He lay.

"Now after Jesus was born
in Bethlehem of Judea
in the days of Herod the king,
behold, wise men from the east
came to Jerusalem saying,
'Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?
For we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him.' "
Matthew 2: 1&2

Later the Bible says.....
"After listening to the king,
they went on their way.
And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose,
went before them
until it came to rest over the place where the child was." (vs.9)

God can make the stars do whatever He wants them to do.
And the stars can still lead people to Jesus.

The Bible says.....
"The heavens declare the glory of God." Psalm 19:1

All we have to do is look up to know that there is a God.

"Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift." II Corinthians 9:15
