Well, my friend, let me tell you about our God.

Here’s a pretty significant problem. About 700 years before the birth of Jesus, Micah prophesied that the Lord Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. Here’s the problem. Before too much longer, Mary would deliver her baby. She and Joseph were living in Nazareth (Luke 2:4) which is over ninety miles away from Bethlehem. From a human perspective, my friend, that is a problem! But not with God!

“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David;) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son; and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn” (Luke 2:1-7).

The key to the answer is what the Lord did. Dr. Luke called it, “And it came to pass!” Joseph and Mary were in Nazareth. The prophecy declared Bethlehem to be the place of the birth. This was no problem to our awesome, all-powerful, sovereign God. He simply set the Roman world in motion to get Joseph and Mary to the right place at the right time.

I am in awe. What an incredible Lord to Whom we belong. Nothing is too hard for Him. Nothing is impossible for Him. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will ever keep Him from being true to His Word. You and I can trust what we read from His Word.
