>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.
>--Luke 2:1 and 4-5
>New International Version

>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>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.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Father, I thank you that behind history, and especially behind the 
>part of history where I live, your hand is always working for my 
>redemption and your glory. Give me faith to ride out the difficult 
>times, knowing that you will use those difficulties to be the 
>incubator of your next great work in me. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
