Advent: Week 3 | Day 4

December 15 | Luke 2:1-7

Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And Heaven and nature sing

The birth of Jesus is surrounded by people and places who would not make room for him. It was true that God was not welcome in this world. If only things were different then… and now.

Reflection

In the busyness of celebrating the birth of Jesus, how many of us fail to make room for Him?
Look at your calendar and your financial statements: considering these only, have you made room for Jesus?

How might you make room for Jesus this Christmas?

Prayer

God, the One who shows up even when there isn’t room, show up in our lives this year too.
