And she gave birth
to her firstborn son
and wrapped him
in swaddling cloths
and laid him in a manger,
because there was
no place for them
in the inn.
Luke 2. 7
(But without a place to stay,
even then,
there were plans for them
outside the inn,
exactly what
God was bringing about.
Mary and Joseph trusted God,
even in what looked like
a glitch,
even far beyond understanding.
What in the world
was God up to?
His eternal design.
God reveals Himself
in the most unexpected places
and unlikely ways.
Being faithful
does not just mean trusting God,
but that God can trust us.
God does not just meet us
in those hard places.
He has prepared us for them
with His strength.)
O LORD,
You love us
over anything we fear,
both real and imagined.
You love us
in everything we face.
You show us
a way through.
Even in what
we cannot comprehend,
You bring it to completion.
And You never ever
leave our side.
We can trust You in this.
Even in this.
