A Christmas Devotional
About God reaching down when you need Him most:
Matthew 1:20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream�(NIV)
Although we have inventions and technology unheard of two thousand years ago, the human race has made little, if any, progress in terms of our being able to live with and love each other. What we have in common with Mary and Joseph, with the wise men, with the shepherds, and with ordinary people two thousand years ago is we have worries, fears, anxieties, dashed hopes, broken dreams, and doubts about God. We also share more positive parts of our life with people who lived two thousand years ago like our ability to hope, our ability to have hearts overflowing, and our ability to possess absolute certainty about what we believe. What we also have in common with persons who lived two thousand years ago is a God who still loves us and who still walks with us and talks with us if we are willing to walk with Him and talk with Him. We still have a God, a being of infinite wisdom and grace, who will still reach down and touch our heart when we need Him most. What is so often difficult for us to understand is why God does not always do what we want or deliver to us what we think we need. What we must understand about God is how God knows more than we do. What we must understand about God is God can see all of what is, all of what can be, and all of what ever will be. In our understanding about God, we must also learn to trust God. We must learn to trust God with our life, our future, and everything in our world within His will and within His love. If God does not communicate to you in a dream as He did with Joseph, perhaps God knows you do not need a dream. If God does not communicate to you in a dream, perhaps God knows you can handle your life just fine the way your life is�with you and our Lord Jesus walking side by side down His path.For A Fast, Complete Search Of
