So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:6-7)
Transitioning from our house of twenty-four years, I understand what it means to have a place to lay your head! God has turned our lives upside down. We have been asked to move out, gut the house of all furniture and supplies, and find places to stay while renovations take place, to prepare the nome for sale. It has been from hotel to hotel and finally coming to rest at our cousin's place. However, this has been a blessing!
We have come to live by faith . . . really! It happened so quickly. Yet God knew it all would occur. We are coming to look forward to how God will do things and where He would have us next. Like with Mary and Joseph and even Abraham and Sarah, He is guiding us to where we will next have a place to lay our heads!
We have been humbled by God's provisions. We are realizing how deeply He is involved in our lives and how He needs to be seen by others by how He works through us. HIStory is taking place today in our very lives. Whether it's a manger or a mansion, we all are literally in His hands!
Our Father is so so good!
