Can you imagine how stressed Mary must’ve been whenever it was time to give birth to Jesus? I’m sure she was unsure, scared, maybe a bit frazzled…. And then to make things more complicated, there was no room for them. 

Luke 2:6-7 tells us “While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”

‭‭

There wasn’t a guest room available for them? Where was Mary supposed to deliver her baby boy? Can you imagine the panic? Can you hear the “what are we going to do?” that Mary asked Joseph. Do you think Joseph was cool, calm, and collected? Or was he panicking as well? 

There was not room for them, but there was a stable nearby…. I do not think it was a coincidence that the stable and manger were there. 

God knows the end from the beginning, and He made sure there was an enclosure nearby for Mary to deliver the Messiah in. The manger being there was not a coincidence. 

There are plenty of examples of this throughout the Bible. Another example is Zacchaeus climbing a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus. God made sure the tree was there long before Zacchaeus would climb it. 

As we go through life, we often wonder if there is a way… or if God will make a way. Whatever season you’re in, regardless of the situations you may go through, God makes a way. Our God is the God who parts waters, extinguishes fires, provides mangers, and plants trees. He heals cancers, sicknesses, provides, and protects. No miracle is too big for God. 

God will make a way when there seems to be no way.
