Verse of the day: At that time, a decree of Caesar Augustus was issued, inviting the entire population of the empire to register, this, the first census, was held when Quirino was governor of Syria. Joseph also rose from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, Judea, to the city of David, called Bethlehem, because he was from the house and family of David, to enlist with Mary, his wife, who was pregnant (Luke 2. 1-5)
Have you ever thought about how wonderful it is that God once ordered the Messiah to be born in Bethlehem (as the prophecy of Micheas 5 shows)?and that he ordered everything in such a way that, when the time came, the messiah’s mother and father (according to the law) lived in Nazareth; And that to fulfill his word and take two little people to Bethlehem this first Christmas, God placed in the heart of Caesar Augustus that the entire Roman world would be recorded, each in his own city?
- Like me.
- Have you ever felt small and insignificant in a world of seven billion people.
- Where all the news concerns the great political.
- Economic and social movements and illustrious characters with a lot of power and prestige?.
If you have ever felt this way, do not be discouraged or unhappy, because it is implicit in the scriptures that all the great political forces and gigantic industrial complexes, without their knowledge, are guided by God, not by themselves, but by The Little People of God, such as Little Mary and Little Joseph who were to be taken from Nazareth to Bethlehem God ruled an empire to bless his children.
Do not think that because you live in adversity, the hand of the Lord is shortened; it is not our prosperity, but our holiness that God seeks with all his heart, and that is why he rules the whole world, as Proverbs 21. 1 says: “Like rivers of water, so is the king’s heart in the hands of the Lord; this one, according to your will, tilts you.
He is a great God to small peoples, and we have great reason to rejoice that, without his knowledge, all kings, presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors of the world execute Heavenly Father’s sovereign decrees, so that we children can conform to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.
