As the world awaits the Saviors birth, Mary and Joseph are still traveling to Bethlehem. There is no special caravan to accompany them to ensure the comfort and safety of the mother and child. It was just Mary, Joseph, the donkey, and God, and it was enough.
Wrapped within the womb of the mother, the babe was blessed with the contentment of rest and growth. The real work for the babe would begin the moment He enters the world among the elements, the straw, and the animals.
Even the animals sensed the coming babe would arrive among them. The babe’s journey on earth was always in the plan to save us from ourselves. Jesus traveled through life with that purpose from day one and He never lost focus.
What have you been blessed with in life that speaks of your purpose for and with God?
Like the animals expectantly resting in the moonlight, may your Christ-mas be filled with many blessings from the God who came for each of us.
