God Is With Us
Christmas means God is always with us. With us in awe. With us in annoyance.
A census pushed Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem.
A virgin gave birth to a baby.
The adoptive, earthly father was in the line of David.
And she laid her newborn, Messiah baby in an animal feeding trough.
We all get in our minds the Hilton’s, Marriott’s and even the Motel 6’s were sold out of rooms.
They didn’t have inns in a hospitality culture.
All the guest rooms were occupied in people’s homes.
So a family let them bunk in their animal pen.
Did this family watch while this baby was born?
Did this family try to go to sleep while the loudness of childbirth went on in their animal pen?
Were they in awe?
Were they annoyed?
Christmas is God with us.
God with us in awe.
God with us in annoyance.
Always with us.
As you lead others to find the God who is always with us, don’t forget he is with you too. Leading and guiding you.
Lead others through your own Hear & Follow relationship with the God who is always with you through every time of your life.
