God's Plan...

December 6, 2011

Luke 2:1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered

It was absolutely no accident that at this precise time in history Caesar decided to take a census. It was not simply happenstance that caused Joseph and Mary to have to travel to Bethlehem. No, this was God’s plan. This was God’s work to fulfill all of the prophesies that had been told about the coming Messiah. In this one verse we can easily see that God uses all things to bring about His will. He is in complete control. For me this is a calming peace to know that God has such control; for others maybe not so much.
