God Is In Control

We often find that through our tragedies we experience our greatest triumphs because they draw us close to God

Joseph and Mary may not have enjoyed scrimping and saving to collect enough money to pay their taxes, especially with a baby on the way. But God had not forsaken them. He was moving them to the place of blessing.

Have you ever considered what is a REAL crisis? A real crisis for the believer is when God is NOT in control. There are trials to face and tests to pass, but we must keep in our hearts and minds the fact that God is in control of our lives.

God placed Mary and Joseph in the right place at the right time, providing what they needed to complete the impossible task set before them. 

Maybe, just maybe, the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh was sent to finance their escape to Egypt.
