God alone is holy, awesome, and able to do wonders. Yet, we tend to idolize others. While we might not worship gods like those in the Old Testament, we still idolize those who are unworthy of our attention. For instance, have you ever worshipped a celebrity, a leader, or a friend? The only one deserving of our worship is God! He is holy - without sin and perfect in every way. He is fearful and awesome – he parted the Red Sea and sent the plagues. He works wonders – he created the heavens and the earth and performed countless miracles.

I do not know how to understand your incredible love for us, yes even for me. How could you enter our world in baby Jesus? Like the Magi, I bow and worship you, Lord Jesus, and our Father who sent you. Who is like you, O God? Nobody is even close. Yet for some reason known only to your grace, you have brought us close. I praise you for your majesty and I praise you for your manger. To your glory, precious Jesus, and in your name, I offer this praise. Amen.
