Get ready to start a journey…a journey through the pages of the Bible and the pages of your life.
Maybe sin has knocked you for a loop. Maybe it has wrestled you to the ground and pinned your back to the mat. You don’t have to stay down. Today’s passage is a bold reminder that it’s time to get up, stand straight, and, by God’s grace, move forward.
Do you think it’s a coincidence that a job went away, a promotion didn’t happen, or that another move is in the future? God is the Great Director, and He has a great part for you to play.
The sovereign God used Augustus to move His chosen couple from Nazareth to Bethlehem. As the Proverb says, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him” (Proverbs 21:1).
Jesus always provides another chance. God has not written you off. He has not cast you aside. Your failure is not final. While you must acknowledge and repent of your sin, Jesus waits with open arms to welcome you back, reinstate you, and use you.
