I am giving thanks today that we don’t have to be full, large, or flashy to be beautiful to our Father. We just have to be growing, flowering 
where Father has us in the moment — waiting obediently for what’s next.
Just fulfilling the purpose of One who is born again.
Luke 2
Did you read it today?

May I draw your attention to a few verses this evening?
Verse 2. the first of its kind
This was the first census.
Requiring Mary to travel in the third trimester – a 90-mile trip.
Do you wonder who was behind that idea? Do you know Who knew it was going to happen? Do you know there was a prophecy that Yeshua would be born in Bethlehem? And born in Bethlehem He was. GOD is always 100% accurate. (Micah 5:2)
In my experience, GOD uses things of this earthly journey (even the inconvenient, uncomfortable, and downright hard stuff) to move His people to the right place at the right time. Why! He can even use the stuff the devil initiates to flip back on the devil and turn it for our good. There’s a Scripture for that isn’t there? Romans 8:28
You will note in verse 6 that YESHUA was Mary’s FIRST child. She had other children after JESUS.
But JESUS is the ONLY GODMAN.
Verse 11. there was born for you a Deliverer
The angel said to the Shepherds born for you. Imagine being a shepherd and hearing that. FOR YOU.
But that was not all they heard: A DELIVERER.
They needed A DELIVERER.
So do we.
I think people today don’t believe that. They don’t believe they need A Deliverer.
A Deliverer from what, they might ask.
From what indeed!
How many things can you name from which THE DELIVERER has delivered you?
Have a good evening, my Friends.
I agree.
My main directive on earth as a redeemed daughter of The Most High is to honor Him and be available and useful in making the Name of Jesus known in this world. Psalm 105:1
All else is to take the second, third, or even fourth Chair.
Like it or not resisting evil at the voting booth, writing letters to Elected Officials, making phone calls, writing blog posts just to name a few IS part of making Jesus known in this sin-sick world.
Resisting evil and the works of darkness IS being available and useful in making Him known, especially when it intersects with politics.
Micah 6:8 (NLT)
8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. source
Just some end of the day musings.
