Luke 2:6-7 (NIV)
6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to
be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped
him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room
available for them.
I've always been amazed at how God chose to place his Son
into our world. He could have done it any way he wanted. But he chose this way
— to enter the world in difficult times under difficult circumstances as a
helpless infant who must be cared for by parents who were vulnerable to so many
frailties. Yet in spite of the challenges that lay ahead and the bewildering
mystery that confronted them, Joseph and Mary — along with everyone around them
— were caught up in the great joy of this new child. Thank God for such new
hope!
Though for today : Can I praise through my circumstances?
