This Advent we ask, What gift do we bring? God desires the gift of our life. Putting Jesus first, living for His glory, and offering ourselves as living sacrifices align us with our design: worship, love God and people, obey freely, live devotedly, and walk with thankful hearts always faithfully.

The wise men traveled far, following God’s sign, simply to worship Jesus. Their gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—recognized Him as King, God, and Savior. Herod feared Him, but they bowed before Him. True wisdom still seeks Christ, offering obedience and worship no matter the distance, cost, or obstacle.

Adoration is the purest form of prayer—focusing not on our needs but on who God is. It is bowing our hearts in reverent awe, declaring His holiness, power, and love. From Job’s sorrow to Mary’s song, true worship rises from every season, exalting God simply because He is worthy.
