Preparing for ChristmasSample

With Christmas only days away, we read about Mary and Joseph's physical journey. We see them setting out for Bethlehem, responding in obedience to both earthly decrees and divine purpose. Despite the uncertainties and hardships they faced, Mary and Joseph trusted in God's plan. Their journey reminds us that sometimes faith requires stepping forward without seeing the whole path. As they moved toward Bethlehem, the birthplace of our Savior, they demonstrated a steadfast commitment to God’s will. May we, too, respond with faithfulness and trust, assured that every step brings us closer to the joy of His promises fulfilled.
