On the 12th Day of Christmas –
The road we travel may be long and hard, but once we get where we’re going it’s completely worth it.
Luke 2:4-5 “And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, his fiancée, who was now obviously pregnant.”
Luke 2:4-5 “And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, his fiancée, who was now obviously pregnant.”
Mary and Joseph had 70 miles to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem on probably the back of a donkey (our modern day suburban) while pregnant. That road was not paved or clean, but one dusty, rocky road. Poor Mary didn’t have it easy, but she was ready for the road ahead because she knew when she got to where she was going she would have the Son of God. Our road ahead is much like Mary’s, far from easy, but if we keep focused on the end we will be strengthened for the journey.
We can’t let the bumps in the road stop us from continuing on the path, we must forge ahead with joy on the road marked out for us. We have the promise of Heaven waiting for us. What a glorious day it will be when we meet our Savior face to face.
Don’t let someone or something deter you from seeking our Savior, he’s the only one that can help you along the road ahead and he’s the reason to keep going!
Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”
