Sending a Savior
Unto Bethlehem as Promised

Read the Bible through:
AM – Nahum 1-3 : PM – Revelation 12
"Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David" (Luke 2:4).
Unto Bethlehem as Promised
Luke 2:1-5

"Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David" (Luke 2:4).
The emperor ordered a census. Joseph went from Nazareth to Bethlehem because “he was of the house and lineage of David.” Usually, a woman was not required to register; but Mary accompanied Joseph to the city of David, perhaps partly because she wanted to be with Joseph as she approached the end of her pregnancy. Perhaps more significant, Mary knew she was about to give birth to Jesus just as the angel had foretold. God was working through the census circumstances to fulfill His promise.
God is at work in your circumstances to accomplish His purpose for you (Rom. 8:28) just as surely as He worked in Joseph’s and Mary’s lives to fulfill Micah 5:2.
Thank You, Lord, for fulfilling the promises You have made to your people.
