—Luke 2:5-7

It is truly incredible how God orchestrated so many details of Christ’s birth in order to fulfill His promise: choosing parents from the line of David, so Christ was of the lineage of David through Mary and registered in that lineage through Joseph; the timing of the census and the birth so that they were in Bethlehem and had found some place to stay but had not yet found lodging. God asked Mary and Joseph to care for His Son, but this was God’s plan and He took care of all the details and timing. God never asks us to take His idea and “run with it.” He asks us to join Him in the work that He is doing.
