It’s A Matter Of Choice

I have been watching, on television, many young women dancing and walking around stunning rooms in their gorgeous and expensive gowns. They were celebrating Christmas as they thought it should be celebrated. And I thought what if Mary had entered the story of Christmas dressed like that, walking in on a red carpet and waving her diamond rings to an adoring crowd. We wouldn’t fit into her life at all. Would we?

No. God had it all planned as He would have it. Mary was a young teenager, lying in her bed one night when the angel came to tell her she would soon have a baby boy! She must have been shocked, but she said, “I have not even seen a man!” But she went on to say she was a servant of the Lord and so let it be as you have said.

When she entered Bethlehem, she was wearing a maternity dress, and she was riding on the back of a mule! No one gave her a place to stay except one man who let her stay with the animals in a cave! But why? God is always the one to plan things right. Yes,He wanted even the poorest child to find Him and knew that baby would eventually die for everyone, poor, rich, old or a little tiny baby in his mother’s womb. God was right!

God still works like that. He will stop the virus as quickly as we decide to get along with each other and as soon as we decide who will be our president. Maybe it’s best to do His will. It will be His will anyhow. The very best of the rest of our Christmas season to you and your family.
