God has a plan for your life that requires certain things to happen at a particular time. And since He sees the big picture and you\u2019re working with limited information, it\u2019s wise to trust Him\u2014even when you don\u2019t see how it will all come together. God can take the loss of a relationship or a job and make it work for your good. The trouble is, while He\u2019s doing all this, you can feel uncomfortable and downright miserable. <\/p>\n
Nearly eight hundred years before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Micah said that He would be born in Bethlehem (see Micah 5:2). But Mary and Joseph were living in Nazareth. So how did God solve the problem? <\/p>\n
The Roman emperor Augustus decreed that a census should be taken: \u2018All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David\u2019s ancient home. He travelled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, his fianc\u00e9e, who was now obviously pregnant. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first child, a son.\u2019<\/i> (Luke 2:3\u20137 NLT)<\/p>\n
Are you worried about the future? \u2018Don\u2019t be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep travelling steadily along His pathway and in due season He will honour you with every blessing.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 37:34 TLB) <\/p>\n
Relax: the God who arranged for His Son to be born into the right family, at the right time, in the right place, is looking out for you today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
