Following God's Unusual Plan for our Lives

Luke 2:1 and 4-5-"In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. So Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child."

Isn't it amazing how many inconveniences in our lives the Lord uses to accomplish his will in us? Can you think of a worse time to have to go on a cross-country trip with their modes of travel than Joseph and Mary faced? Yet God turned it into the moment in which the angels found their tune and Satan met his match. This trip was all part of God's eternal plan for His son Jesus to come to Earth and be born in Bethlehem, according as it was prophesied, to a virgin, and save us from our sins. Only God could make this inconvenience a part of His plan.
