Too Busy for Christmas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Luke 2: 1-7<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 21: 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1 The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.<\/p>\n

No Choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Luke 2: 4-5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Micah 5: 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel,<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 1: 12<\/strong><\/h3>\n

12 Then the Lord said to me, \u201cYou have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew 1: 24-25<\/strong><\/h3>\n

24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Luke 2: 6-7<\/strong><\/h3>\n

6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No Notice<\/strong><\/h3>\n
