God doesn’t ever force himself on us. He gives us signs of his presence and waits for us to notice Him, just like He gave Moses the sign of the burning bush. Paying attention and noticing these signs open us up to hear from Him directly.

After the Magi came with gifts for the infant Jesus, acknowledging him as the King of the Jews, angels warned the Magi not to go back to Herod, and also warned Joseph to take Mary and the baby and flee to Egypt. Later, the angel told Joseph to leave Egypt and return home. What was the significance of this event in the life and ministry of Jesus, and what is its significance for us?
