''And it came to pass in those days that a degree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.'' Luke 2:1
Sometimes I wonder if God doesn't laugh at our ''coincidences,'' a concept that is purely human and completely unbiblical. There is no such thing - everything that happens either originates with God or is something He allowed to happen.
Clearly, a long journey was not Mary's idea of a smooth pregnancy. The tax registration was highly inconvenient. But from our perspective, knowing the story, it was exactly what God planned to fulfill prophecy.
So, what coincidences or even inconveniences are happening in your life? I think, when we get to heaven, we will be very surprised at what God was doing all that time. Remember that He sees both the details and the big picture. An inconvenience might just be a blessing in disguise.
