no room

Luke 2:7, "And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn" (NASB)

Only a few were paying enough attention to prophesy playing out in the world to realize that God had come to live in flesh. Emanuel.  Most didn't notice; so much so that He wasn't born anywhere comfortable but where the animals were kept.  There was no room for Him in the inn.

And we must ask ourselves, have I made room for Him?  The Lord is very specifically showing me how I haven't; where in my life I'm keeping full of other things.  I'm still learning to let Him Love me and making peace with His will.  When Jesus was born they would've turned the inn upside down to welcome Him in, if they had realized who He was.  Sometimes life might feel like He wants to turn us upside down and ruin it; but when our Creator turns our lives upside down it actually welcomes in LIFE: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, & self-control.  What seems like normal living to us could be the exact thing He seeks to change. Every life is different and we each have to seek Him for His daily will and direction. Most of all seek Him simply to know Him and He is steady and never changing... after all, if the Creator of the Universe wants to know you, don't you want to know Him too? Making peace with Him. ...

Peace on Earth.
