TRUTH: Those who seek the gift of love are led to wise decisions!

Wise decisions come as we…

1. Know the word
Matthew 2:2 :: 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.”

2 Timothy 3:16 :: All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness

2. Beware of secret
Matthew 2:7 :: Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.

3. Listen
Matthew 2:9 :: 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.

Proverbs 19:20 :: Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.

4. Seek the right things
Matthew 2:11 :: And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

Matthew 6:33 :: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

5. Discern the Holy Spirit's leading
Matthew 2:12 :: And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

Romans 12:2 :: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
