Inconvenienced Due to God’s Will
Listen, if you're having trouble right now, that just tells me you are smack dab in the center of God's will.
If you're experiencing trials and tribulations of all kinds, that just means God has His hands on your life. Christmas is all about good news and bad news. Trials, tribulation, trouble - it's all part of the journey.
When God gets ready to bring something to pass in your life, there's going to be a whole lot of movement.
Look at Mary and Joseph. Caesar Augustus issued a decree that everyone had to return to their hometown to be taxed. And this happened when Mary was far along in her pregnancy. God picked the worst time for Mary to travel.
That 90-mile journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem? That was an uphill climb. Bethlehem sits at 2,543 feet elevation. Four to ten days on a donkey while pregnant. But Micah prophesied hundreds of years earlier that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Not Nazareth. Bethlehem.
When God is ready to fulfill what He prophesied and what He promised, your inconvenience goes on the back burner. It doesn't make it any easier because it's God's will. It doesn't make it a flowery path. It doesn't mean there's not going to be heartache and pain and sleepless nights.
GET TO THE SPOT
Being at the right place at the right time matters. You got to get to Bethlehem. Bethlehem means "House of Bread." And Jesus said, "I am the bread of life."
Ask Ruth about Bethlehem. She lost her husband in Moab, but she said, "I got to get to Bethlehem." Bethlehem is a place of new beginnings. Bethlehem is a place of supernatural provision. Bethlehem is a place of BOAZ.
Whatever it takes, you got to get to Bethlehem. Whatever it costs you, you got to get to Bethlehem. I don't care how long the ride is – keep on riding. Keep on climbing uphill. I know it's rough, but it's God's perfect will.
SOME MOUNTAINS YOU GOT TO CLIMB
Here's the other side of faith that needs to be preached: There are some mountains that aren't going to move. You can speak to them all you want, but that mountain is just sitting there looking at you.
Why? Because God wants you to CLIMB that one.
That's why David said, "He makes my feet like hinds' feet" - so he can climb (Psalm 18:33). Go tell Abraham that who had to climb to the top of Mount Moriah. Go tell Jesus that who was crucified on Calvary Hill.
Mary and Joseph could speak all they wanted. The more they climbed, the higher it looked. But God didn't design that mountain to move. God designed it for them to receive the grace to climb. God’s grace is sufficient for you.
THE CELEBRATION IS WAITING
When Mary finally made it to Bethlehem and laid the Messiah in that manger wrapped in swaddling clothes, the angels showed up. Not just one or two - a multitude of the heavenly host praising God!
The uphill climb was worth it. There was a celebration waiting on the other side like they had never seen. This celebration would only happen once in a lifetime. Once in the world.
YOUR WORD FOR THIS SEASON
I believe this next move of God in your life will begin the fulfillment of a whole lot of things that God has promised to you. Things you've been waiting a long time for.
God waited a long time to bring His word to pass. And when He was ready, there was a whole lot of movement. Everybody was being disadvantaged.
But when you get to your Bethlehem - when you reach that place God has ordained – joy comes in the morning.
Keep on climbing. You have no idea what's waiting for you on the other side. God has a whole party planned around your determination to get to the top of that climb.
Your uphill climb is going to be worth it. God's getting ready to blow your mind.
PRAYER FOR YOU
Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for that supernatural grace imparted to every single person reading this. We thank You for giving them that supernatural grace to make the uphill climb because there's going to be a celebration on the other side.
Give us wisdom. Give us insight. Because when we get insight, we can cooperate a whole lot better with the things we are dealing with. Not our will but let Your will be done in the name of Jesus. Amen.
