When you really study the story of the birth of Jesus, it is amazing at how much faith his earthly parents displayed in trusting God throughout the whole process. While it is easy to focus our attention solely on the manger scene, the truth of the matter is that Mary and Joseph had to do quite a bit of traveling just to get to the point where they could actually begin to raise their child.
From an outside perspective, it is easy to question why God would have Mary and Joseph go through so many obstacles in order to raise Jesus. But what if the very things that we view as inconveniences were all a part of God's plan for them? And could that be true in our lives as well? Are the things that we view as inconveniences actually opportunities for us to grow closer to God?
I hope that you will invite a friend and join us this Wednesday for an awesome time of worship, encouragement and fellowship!
