Getting Into The Manger

Saturday, September 3, 2022

Where is Messiah? If you were looking for Messiah on the day of His birth, where would you find Him? You wouldn't find Him in the inn, or in the crowded places. God is not going to stay in a crowded place. We think we can maintain His presence in a crowded life or we can fit Him in between a thousand details. You might have let so many details come into your life that the Lord's presence just can't stay there. And you wonder why you don't feel that joy anymore, that zeal in God. How can you have it? He's not going to stay where there is no room for Him. On the day of His birth, He wasn't in the crowd or in the inn. He was outside--away in the manger. You want to restore the joy and the glory of His presence in your life? Then you also have to get away from the crowded place and busyness. Get alone with Him, get to the manger and find Him again because He still loves you. He'll be waiting for you this week--away from all the rest, in a manger.
