Daily Bread — The Star in the East

Today’s Reading: Matthew 2:1–6
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.”
(Matthew 2:2, KJV)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Emmanuel — God With Us

A Thought for Today

God often leads in quiet, unexpected ways.
Sometimes, the guidance we are given feels small — like a distant light rather than a clear path.

The star in the East was just that: a sign meant to be followed.

What This Means for Us Today

The wise men did not have all the answers. They only had a sign — and they chose to follow it.

This reminds us that faith does not always begin with certainty. It often begins with noticing where God is drawing our attention and taking one step forward.

God’s guidance may not always be loud, but it is steady.

Carry This With You

Pay attention to the small ways God may be leading you today.
A quiet nudge, a reminder, a moment of clarity — these can be signs worth following.

A Simple Prayer

God, help us to notice Your guidance, even when it feels small.
Give us faith to follow where You lead.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Take a moment today to pause and ask:
Where might God be guiding me right now?
