Read Luke 2:1-7
You never fly as the crow flies. Get used to the country mile.
- Emily Saliers
Nothing seemed to go the way Mary and Joseph expected. First there was the shock of the news Mary was pregnant. Then there was the wrinkle of the census. Then there's the panic-inducing realization that you'll have to deliver the baby in a barn. It's a string of unplanned events that could have sent them over the edge. But they rolled with it and kept going forward. And really, they had no choice: That baby was coming regardless of what was going on at the moment. God's salvation plan for the entire human race was as unstoppable as the arrival of a baby.
What is happening in your life right now that feels like it could derail you? What unexpected and maybe unpleasant surprises have caught you off-guard? You can find hope knowing that nothing can derail God. His work is unstoppable. One way or another, he will continue to work in around and through whatever obstacles come your way.
