God Uses People Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Was just
thinking
about how

God uses people
to bless us?

How God uses people
to teach us?

How God uses people
to humble us?


At the birth of Jesus Christ
the three wise men
were not our devout believers.

They were Persian
stargazers pagan
non-believers for

Jews
Christians
Moslems.


Yet God
choose them
to worship

give frankincense
gold myrrh to the
newborn King.

Riches that allowed
Joseph Mary Jesus to
flee to Egypt to safety.


God is telling us his
servants are his choice
warning us not to judge.

God gave the three wise men
divine warning in a dream
not to return to false King Herod.

Only after they had withdrawn did
God’s angel appear in Joseph’s dream
saying “Get up, take the young child


and its mother and flee into Egypt,
and stay there until I give you word;
for Herod is about to search for the

young child to destroy it.” All this “for
that to be fulfilled which was spoken by
God through his prophet, saying “Out of

Egypt I called my son.” Matthew 2: 1-15.
Thus the Magi were truly servants of God.
We would do well not to judge divine will.
