The Seventh Day of Christmas
The Journey to an Epiphany
Sometimes, we just know. It is my feeling that when we know, from the core of our being, that something we have been told is not true, we are connected with The Holy Spirit, in such a way, that the guidance, the counsel, the comfort, the strength is flowing through us, creating an environment wherein we embrace The Wisdom of God. It has happened to me, and I know it has also happened to each of you. Still, there have been times when I pushed my inner guidance aside to follow the direction of another, or others. And they need not be individuals, looking to do harm. The advice, most often, will come from those intending to serve us well, by offering their knowledge or sharing their experience. And this is when we must turn our ears inward, and listen to the Voice, whispering from within. That guidance, coming from within, is specifically for each of us. And, when followed, sets all things straight, for us. Living the journey that is ours can be filled with temptations to shift paths and follow another as they journey. But in the quiet of night, when all things are still, and we are at rest, we will know, and with eagerness follow, not the ways of the world, but The Way of God, because The Holy Spirit of God will guide us so. We might never know what good was done as we followed The Way, but we can be sure we did what was ours to do.
On this seventh day of Christmas, 2023, the reading I have chosen is from Matthew 2:9.

“After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.” Matthew 2:9
