> > HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE > (formerly Today's Verse) > by Phil Ware > >April 2, 2004 > >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. >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.20447.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
