The Wise Men had spent the last two years following a star; leaving country, home
and family behind.
Matthew 2:9-10 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy
It wasn't what they expected, but the King of Kings is in the home of a peasant, and the Wise Men came to worship and worship is what they did. They saw God in that shack. They saw God in Jesus.
When your star leads to a shack - look for God, He will be there.
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
These wise men received far more than the gifts they gave. That’s always the way it is with God.
No man can ever out give Him. Not very many try, but those who do find Him to be over abundant in His supply.
